Jar with Dragon and Clouds Design | Cleveland Museum of Art

In traditional Korean art, dragons have been used as an emblem of royalty. Over many centuries, the ways of depicting this powerful mythical creature evolved and varied in response to artistic trends and socioeconomic changes. On this jar from the 1600s, the artist drew a whimsical dragon with bulging eyes who wraps his scaled body around the vessel. The artist’s aim here was to capture the wild spirit of the supernatural creature with free flowing calligraphic brushstrokes.

Helena Parada Kim’s ‘Interstices’ - A fusion of cultures and traditions

Helena Parada Kim’s ‘Interstices’ at the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne masterfully blends Korean traditions with European artistry, creating a dialogue between past and present. Her unique approach to cultural fusion is exemplified in works that juxtapose traditional Korean motifs with contemporary European painting techniques, offering a fresh perspective on cultural identity and arts in general.

The oldest recorded contact between the #Philippines and #Korea was during Korea's #JoseonDynasty, sometime in the 19th Century to be more specific (Joseon lasted for 500 years).

Little known fact: During #WorldWar2, Imperial Japan brought in Korean soldiers in the Philippines as an additional military support of Imperial Japan's occupation.

There are many #Koreantown in the Philippines. The two most known are in #Makati City and #Angeles City.

The Joseon Dynasty
As the Yuan Dynasty fled China, two factions emerged in the Korean government - one which supported Yuan restoration and one which acknowledged the new Ming Dynasty. As a result, the Goryeo Dynasty collapsed and in its place arose the Joseon Dynasty.
