Animals of Myth in the Folding Screens, Korea
In this post, I’d like to introduce you the animals in myth.
The mysterious animals were very important to explain the spiritual view of the world not only in Korean traditional society but also in the Eastern Asia.
In this reason, there were lots of paintings left in the folding screens.
Each mythical animals had their own meaning.
Those animals expressed the ideal world of the Eastern Asia which was mainly from China.
Each imaginary animals had the good quality and virtue in their meaning, it looked dreadful though.
Excellent photos really fantastic

@slowwalker
Wow, these are some lovely art pieces.
Maybe they were real.
Who knows?
Thank you for showing me those screens of Korean art. I was engaged in Chinese painting and I was interested to compare how similar these two types of painting. I see that the dragon and cranes were depicted as it is customary in Chinese painting. But other mythical animals are unfamiliar to me.
Well there are indeed myths in almost every culture and each of them does have some thoughts about those particular Myths but come to think of it these are indeed some mysterious animals. The names of them should be quite interesting as well I believe.
I love these kind of mythological paintings. I'm glad that you share them with us :).
