    "Ten Symbols of Longevity"

    "Ship-jangsaeng" - the Twelve "Ten Symbols of Longevity" is widely used in Korea's traditional Paintings.

    One motif from Korea's religious traditions that is still most commonly employed and considered meaningful is the Ship-jangsaeng 十長生 십장생 [Ten Symbols of Longevity].

    This set forms a very important part of the Korean decorative arts tradition, and was used on everything from folk paintings and folding screens to embroidered decorations on fabrics for all kinds of uses in daily aristocratic life. These days it is still frequently used, including on modern metal gateways, doors and the fences around residential or institutional lots.

    To enjoy a robustly healthy life in wise harmony with nature, in the beautiful actual places of this planet for as long as possible, even for hundreds of years if one attains the highest forms of enlightenment according to legends, is a key ideal throughout Korean culture. This is one of the supreme values of Chinese and Korean Daoism, standing in contrast to the otherworldly or
    afterlife obsessions of the religions that originated in the Middle East and South Asia.


    Sipjangsaeng-do is Joseon Dynasty representative royal decoration painting symbolically expressing hopes for longevity and Utopia.

    The composition about ten things of longevity, such as sun, cloud, water, stone, pine, bamboo, elixir plant, turtle, crane, and deer, are objects that have been believed to have homeostasis, invariability, or longevity for a long time.

    All figures in this frame are full of the entire screen, it has a clear and transparent feeling through the coloring that is drawn in light colored form.
