PUNGSOKHWA

Pungsokhwa, Life of Joseon Dynasty

 

Pungsokhwa (genre painting) of the Joseon Dynasty captures the lives of the four classes of ordinary people (scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants) through the landscapes of agriculture, cities, governments, and seasonal customs. It preserves the life and culture of Korean ancestors full of philosophy and humor, and is regarded as an important medium between the past and the present.
