🎨 Featuring Masterpieces of Korean Art
🥋 Ssireum (Korean Wrestling) – by Kim Hong-do (Treasure-designated Artwork)
Inspired by Ssireum from the famous “Pungsokdocheop” (Album of Genre Paintings) by Kim Hong-do (Danwon), this artwork captures a traditional Korean wrestling match. The crowd is arranged in a circular formation around two wrestlers, giving the scene vibrant energy and depth. Even small details—like a candy seller standing off to the side or the shoes placed on the ground—contribute to the balanced composition. The bold brushstrokes and expressive characters reflect the artist’s genius and his signature style: round faces, soft eyes, and textured clothing drawn with rustic charm.
🌿 Dano Day Scene – by Shin Yun-bok (National Treasure No. 135)
Taken from Shin Yun-bok’s Hyewonjeonsincheop, this illustration shows women celebrating the Dano Festival by swinging, bathing, and enjoying nature by a secluded stream. The scene is lively yet graceful, with young monks playfully peeking at the women—adding a humorous touch. It beautifully depicts the joyful, carefree spirit of Korean traditional holidays.
🌸 Cockscomb and Insects – by Shin Saimdang
This delicate floral painting by Shin Saimdang, one of Korea’s most iconic female artists and calligraphers, adds a poetic and elegant mood to the fan. The painting reflects her refined eye for nature and feminine artistry.

Holding the Star Gift Traditional Hanji Fan in my hands felt like embracing a warm breeze from Korea’s vibrant past. The delicate fabric reveals not merely strokes of paint but stories woven through generations, reminiscent of lively scenes I’ve only encountered in folklore tales around family gatherings. One can’t overlook how Kim Hong-do’s depiction of Ssireum encapsulates the communal spirit; it echoes laughter and cheers that could only come from shared celebrations! Each nuance drawn into this fan sings songs familiar to old souls—like watching one’s elders recreate these joyous moments on dusty village streets, their laughter mingling with sunlight filtering through golden leaves. Such exquisite craftsmanship ignites a sense of nostalgia yet offers an invitation for deeper appreciation.
