Framed Korean Jakhodo Tiger and Magpie Folk Painting One of the Four
About the Item
A Korean Folk Art painting watercolor on silk mounted with brocade border and framed. The watercolor was likely dated from late 19th century to the turn of the 20th century, toward the end of Josen Dynasty. The work depicts a "Jakhodo" theme (Tiger and Magpie theme; The letter “jak” means magpie; “ho” means tiger; and “do” means painting), one of the most popular motifs in Korean art, from folk paintings to ceramics. In Korean culture, tiger symbolizes a spirited power to ward off evils while the magpies are the harbingers of good news. The tiger was often given a somewhat comical instead of fierce facial expression looking up to the magpies perching on the pine branches.
Traditionally, folky minhwa paintings of this theme is displayed, often pasted on the front door or hanging on a prominent wall in the house, during the first month of the lunar calendar. It is believed that it can ward off the evil and harm for the family and ensure a safe and prosperous year ahead.
This is one of a set of four matching paintings (see the photos of the other three). It can be purchased as a whole collection at 12000.

- 17th Century Korean Grapevine and Squirrel Scroll Painting, Mid Joseon PeriodLocated in Kyoto, JPAnonymous. Korean, 17th century. Joseon period. Hanging scroll. Ink on paper. Seal: Shinso Dimensions: Scroll: H. 200 cm x W. 31 cm (79” x 12”) Image: H. 122 cm x W. 29.5 cm (48” x 11.5”) The grapevine came to China and then Korea from western Asia via the silk road trade routes. By the mid-Joseon period, it was one of the most popular subjects for Korean literati painters. Grapevines were painted as a singular subject or, less commonly, in combination with squirrels, which are associated with children due to their playful nature. Together, grapevines and squirrels embody wishes for abundant offspring and wealth. For the Korean literati artist the twisting vines, curling tendrils and round, plump grapes provided ample opportunity for expressive "brush play”. In this painting the artist has abstracted the scene and is seemingly unconcerned with discontinuities and proportion. Vines spring up from nowhere, grapes hang in random clusters and the squirrel’s head appears as if twisted backwards. For the vines and leaves we can feel a sense of speed in the brushstrokes, imparting a dynamic feel which is at once intense and animated.
