  1. "The #Korean alphabet, called #Hangul, is the only major writing system in human history with a known inventor and a documented design rationale — created in 1443 by King Sejong of the #Joseon dynasty, who designed each consonant to physically represent the position of the tongue and lips during the corresponding sound, and published a companion document explaining exactly why each letter looked the way it did."

  3. Snowscape with Figures reflects the solitude and introspection of early Joseon period artist Kim Si. The serene yet poignant depiction of a scholar in a snow-draped landscape invites us to ponder: What does true solitude mean in our modern lives?

  9. "Painting of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks," Unknown Korean Artist, 19th or early 20th Centuries.

    The product of an unknown artist from Korea's Joseon Dynasty, this painting is also known as a Irworobongdo, and normally was a folding screen that stood behind the Emperor's throne, as a symbol of his majesty and power. The actual meaning of the symbolism here is forgotten and can only be guessed at. It's worth noting that the concept of five peaks has long been important to the royal houses of Korea.

    Many of these were produced in the heyday of the Joseon Dynasty, but today only about 20 are extant, none of which are signed. While frequently done as multipanel folding screens, this particular example is done as a single panel. Versions of this always had the sun, moon, and five peaks, but could vary in details, color scheme, and arrangement.

    From the National Palace Museum of Korea, Seoul.

  15. @cs As women had no rights in the #joseon period (just like in TX), how would you not expect them to dress as men to make a living?
