Korean Traditional Patterns Vol.04 — Clouds, Sun & Landscape

Forty cloud motifs — roundels, scrolls, drifting puffs, medallions and border bands — drawn from temple ceilings, palace beams and roof tiles, joined by sun discs, mountain-and-wave landscape motifs, a taegeuk roundel, flying cranes and a cloud-and-phoenix band. Clouds are the connective tissue of Korean ornament; this volume gives you enough of them to build any background.

Glossary

What these motifs mean

Short catalogue entries on the history and meaning of the themes in this pack.

Taegeuk

태극문 · taegeuk-mun

The Korean yin-yang — two or three commas of cosmic balance, from shrine doors to the flag.

Dragon

용문 · yong-mun

Rain-bringer and royal emblem; the king's robe, the throne-hall ceiling, the blue-and-white jar.

Phoenix

봉황문 · bonghwang-mun

The auspicious bird that appears under good rule — the queen's emblem, today the presidential seal.

Crane

학문 · hak-mun

Long life and unworldly purity; inlaid in Goryeo celadon, embroidered on the scholar-official's badge.

Cloud

구름문 · gureum-mun

The sky itself — heaven, immortals and rain; the ground on which every dragon and crane is drawn.

Sun & Landscape

해문 · 산수문 · hae-mun, sansu-mun

A plain red disc over five peaks — the cosmos in order behind the Joseon throne.
