A set of 3 cards from Hohodang's 'Korean Christmas Card' series. These cards reinterpret traditional Korean paintings, adding a unique sensibility to your Christmas greetings. The Longevity card is based on the work 'Longevity' by French painter Paul Jacoulet. Jacoulet settled in Japan at age three with his father in 1899 and created numerous works depicting the daily lives of Joseon-era people using ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique. The painting features grapes and deer—symbols of longevity in Korea—along with an elderly figure representing long life, all within a single composition. The Meeting Spring, Transplanting Seedlings card is based on a work by Ji Un-young, a painter and calligrapher from the late Joseon period. Ji Un-young's pen names were Seolbong and Baekryeon. This painting captures the scene of transplanting seedlings as spring arrives. The canvas embodies a heartfelt desire to plant hope even amid hardship and the longing to welcome the warm spring. The Hunting Scene card is based on a work by Lee Yong-woo in ink painting. Depicting figures in Xiongnu-style dress hunting against a backdrop of steep mountains, the work carries on the tradition of hunting paintings that has continued since the Three Kingdoms period. Lee Yong-woo is recognized as a painter for his bold attempt to combine Western and traditional painting styles. Contents: Set of 3 cards
