Drawings Influenced by Taoism in the Folding Screens of Choson Dynasty, Korea

In this post, I’d like to show you the drawings in detail.
There were several kinds of the drawings for the purpose of the folding screens.

Many drawings in the folding screens were about the legendary hermits in Taoism.
The place where those legendary hermits lived in was believed as the paradise in the Eastern Asia.

Below are the legendary hermits.
They were believed to live on the cloud and sometimes on the sea.

The paradise was drawn on the folding screens, at that time one of the most important symbol was the heavenly peaches.
