Yet in Korean folk painting (\u003cem\u003eMinhwa\u003c\/em\u003e), nothing is depicted by chance. Each motif carries symbolic meaning and conveys a wish or blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMinhwa\u003c\/em\u003e is Korea’s traditional folk painting. Unlike court painting, which was intended for the royal court and nobility, it emerged for the everyday lives of ordinary people. The paintings decorated homes and were meant to bring their owners good luck, health, prosperity, and a long life. For this reason, animals, plants, and other natural motifs in Minhwa usually represent more than themselves; they stand for particular values and hopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting \u003cem\u003eYuha Myodo\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eCats under the Willow\u003c\/em\u003e) is traditionally attributed to the painter \u003cstrong\u003eJo Ji-un (조지운, 1637–1691)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Although its authorship has not been definitively established, the work is considered one of the best-known examples of Korean animal paintings with symbolic significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair of cats represents harmony and family unity. The three kittens symbolize the wish for descendants and a flourishing future for the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cat also has a special symbolic meaning. The Chinese character for “cat” (猫) sounds similar to the character 耄, which refers to an advanced age. Because of this wordplay, the cat became a symbol of longevity in East Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe willow represents renewal, vitality, and endurance. In Korea, the magpie is regarded as a bird of good fortune and a bearer of good news and joyful events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these motifs convey a wish that has accompanied many generations: a long life, a harmonious family, numerous descendants, as well as good luck and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMinhwa\u003c\/em\u003e thus offers a special perspective on Korean culture. Behind the seemingly simple depictions lie wishes, hopes, and ideas about life that shaped people’s everyday lives for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/original-ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow.jpg?v=1785959355\" alt=\"ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ji-un Jo","offers":[{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 21×30 cm","offer_id":53288726135051,"sku":"2396408_8947","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 30×40 cm","offer_id":53288726167819,"sku":"2396408_8948","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 50×70 cm","offer_id":53288726200587,"sku":"2396408_8952","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 61×91 cm","offer_id":53288726233355,"sku":"2396408_8953","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 70x100 cm","offer_id":53288726266123,"sku":"2396408_8954","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 21×30 cm","offer_id":53288721744139,"sku":"2966198_9356","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 30×40 cm","offer_id":53288721776907,"sku":"2966198_9357","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 50×70 cm","offer_id":53288721809675,"sku":"2966198_9358","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 61×91 cm","offer_id":53288721842443,"sku":"2966198_9359","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ 21×30 cm","offer_id":53288721875211,"sku":"2966198_11790","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ 30×40 cm","offer_id":53288721907979,"sku":"2966198_11791","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ 50×70 cm","offer_id":53288721940747,"sku":"2966198_11792","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ 61×91 cm","offer_id":53288721973515,"sku":"2966198_11793","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 21×30 cm","offer_id":53288722006283,"sku":"2966198_10296","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 30×40 cm","offer_id":53288722039051,"sku":"2966198_10297","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 50×70 cm","offer_id":53288722071819,"sku":"2966198_10298","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 61×91 cm","offer_id":53288722104587,"sku":"2966198_10299","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/enhanced-matte-paper-framed-poster-_cm_-black-61x91-cm-front-6a7388aea5cd1.jpg?v=1785956537","url":"https:\/\/artlia.com\/products\/poster-ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow","provider":"ARTLIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
