This exhibition has been planned to refocus the different meanings represented by pine trees and bamboo, which have long been of great importance in our culture. It will be an optical opportunity to appreciate the way our ancestors held them close to their hearts. The noble spirit and chastity represented by pine trees and bamboo were seen to embody the ideals and scholars, and were at times mentioned with personal figures to signify the separation from the secular world. The longevity and good fortune symbolized by pine trees and bamboo were intimately related to the daily lives of the Joseon people and were themes in paintings, ceramics and various crafts. In particular, they were highly preferred as timber and widely used to make utensils for daily use.
