The Taegeukseon, a traditional Korean fan, embodies the principles of the cosmos. Thin bamboo strips form the framework, over which oiled Hanji paper or silk is carefully applied in the shape of the Taegeuk symbol.
This fan is further distinguished by its classic sensibility. The three colors of the Taegeuk, symbolizing the creation of the universe, are expressed through a special dyeing technique using lacquer on Hanji paper.
A meticulously crafted fan featuring traditional Hanji paper dyed with three colors of lacquer, and a Korean Chinaberry wood handle finished with lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay.
