Embroidered Fortune Hanging Series
Crafted in the Sehwa tradition — exchanging auspicious paintings to share blessings — these translucent hangings reinterpret fortune symbols through embroidery. The fabric allows light to pass through, casting delicate shadow-doubles of the stitched motifs. Each piece, embroidered rather than printed, offers a tactile depth you can sense with both eyes and touch.
Tiger and Magpie (Hojakdo)
A mighty tiger wards off evil while a cheerful magpie brings good news — a talismanic pairing traditionally displayed at the New Year. This famous folk motif still resonates today, even inspiring characters in contemporary culture such as the Netflix animation ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’. It embodies the hope that only good fortune will enter the home.
