| Option
| Irworobongdo (Sun and Moon Five Peaks Painting) |
|---|
 Irworobongdo, or the “Sun and Moon Five Peaks,” is a traditional royal court painting that symbolizes the dignity and authority of the king. It represents the cosmic balance of yin and yang, along with the Five Elements. In this artwork, the sun symbolizes the king, while the moon represents the queen. The five stylized mountains are inspired by Korea’s most iconic peaks—Mount Geumgang, Myohyang, Jiri, Baekdu, and Samgak—symbolizing a wish for the eternal prosperity of the nation. This painting was traditionally placed behind the king’s throne in royal palaces, making it a powerful symbol of sovereignty and harmony. |
| Hojakdo (Tiger and Magpie Painting) |
|---|
 Hojakdo is one of the most iconic Korean folk paintings, deeply rooted in Korea’s mountainous landscape and rich storytelling traditions. In Korean culture, the tiger is seen as a powerful and sacred creature—a guardian that wards off evil spirits. The magpie, on the other hand, is a symbol of good news and joyful encounters. There’s even a saying in Korea: “If a magpie chirps in the morning, a welcome guest will arrive.” Together, the tiger and magpie reflect protection, luck, and warm hospitality—core values deeply embedded in Korean folklore. |
| Morando (Peony Painting) |
|---|
 In Korean folk art, the peony is known as the “king of flowers” and symbolizes wealth, honor, and prosperity. Often paired with scholar’s rocks (suseok), Morando expresses wishes for both abundance and longevity, making it a beloved motif in traditional Korean paintings. |
| Eobyeonsungyongdo (Carp transforming into Dragon Painting) |
|---|
 Inspired by the legend that only a carp that swims upstream against powerful waterfalls under the rising sun can transform into a dragon, Eobyeonseongryongdo symbolizes success in the civil service exams and achieving great status. In the past, scholars would place this painting on their desks as a reminder of their determination and hopes for success. It represents personal resolve and the pursuit of one’s ambitions. |
| Woonyongdo (Dragon Painting) |
|---|
 The dragon is a prominent motif in Joseon folk paintings, symbolizing supreme authority and power. Connected to both agricultural and maritime cultures, dragons were revered as guardian spirits who bring abundant harvests and bountiful catches. In Joseon Minhwa, the Blue Dragon wards off evil, the Yellow and White Dragons symbolize the emperor, and the Black and Fish Dragons are associated with rain rituals. Dragon paintings are believed to have the power to repel evil and attract good fortune, and they also represent the king—the central figure of royal authority. |
| Hwajeobdo (Flowers and Butterflies Painting) |
|---|
 Hwajeopdo, featuring flowers and butterflies, beautifully captures the harmony of nature while symbolizing wealth, happiness, and marital harmony. Traditionally, this painting was commonly used as wall decoration in bedrooms and bridal chambers, and on the doors of cabinets in the main reception room (sarangbang), as well as for wedding celebrations. |
| Yeonhwado (Lotus Flower Painting) |
|---|
 While the lotus flower is often associated with Buddhism, in Joseon folk paintings it symbolized the upright character of scholars and was strongly connected to wishes for good fortune and official success. When depicted with a child figure (dongja), it represents the hope for continuous birth of precious offspring. When shown alongside lotus seed pods (yeonbap), it symbolizes fertility and abundant blessings. |
| Hwajodo (Flowers and Birds Painting) |
|---|
 Hwajodo, depicting flowers, butterflies, insects, and animals together, expresses the Korean spirit of living in harmony with nature. This painting celebrates the beauty of nature and symbolizes the origins of life, representing wealth and honor through motifs like the peony, the lotus symbolizing truth and virtue, and the chrysanthemum representing high integrity. Traditionally, these symbolic flowers adorned bedroom walls, cabinets in bridal chambers and reception rooms (sarangbang), and were also widely used in wedding ceremonies. |
| Chaekgado (Painting of Books and Everyday Items) |
|---|
 Chaekkado centers around books and various everyday objects, capturing the spirit of Joseon scholars who cherished learning and valued their books deeply. This still-life style painting thoughtfully arranges stacks of books alongside common study items, reflecting the emotions and cultural life of the scholarly class. |
