Description
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, CHARMING, SCARCE & BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED VINTAGE AUTHENTIC SHIN SAIMDANG SQUARE COTTON SCARF KERCHIEF.
SHIN SAIMDANG (申師任堂, 1504 – 1551) WAS A KOREAN ARTIST, WRITER, CALLIGRAPHIST, NOTED POET, AND THE MOTHER OF THE KOREAN CONFUCIAN SCHOLAR YULKOK. OFTEN HELD UP AS A MODEL OF CONFUCIAN IDEALS, HER RESPECTFUL NICKNAME WAS EOJIN EOMEONI (어진 어머니; "WISE MOTHER"). HER REAL NAME WAS INSEON. HER PENNAMES WERE SAIMDANG, INIMDANG AND IMSAJAE.
SHIN SAIMDANG'S ARTWORK IS KNOWN FOR THEIR DELICATE BEAUTY; INSECTS, FLOWERS, BUTTERFLIES, ORCHIDS, GRAPES, FISH AND LANDSCAPES WERE FAVORITE THEMES.
APPROXIMATELY 40 PAINTINGS OF INK AND STONEPAINT COLORS REMAIN, ALTHOUGH MANY OTHERS ARE ASSUMED TO EXIST.
UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MUCH OF HER CALLIGRAPHY IS LEFT BUT HER STYLE WAS GREATLY PRAISED IN HER TIME, WITH HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS AND CONNOISSEURS WRITING RECORDS OF HER WORK.
THIS LOVELY SCARF COMES IN ITS ORIGINAL PAPER ENVELOPE WITH A CARTON INSERT WITH THE HISTORY OF CHO-CHUNG-DO & SHIN SAIMDANG.
THE SCARF ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THE PAPER ENVELOPE SHOWS VERY MINOR SIGNS OF SHELF LIFE BUT NO TEARS.
IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT & WORTHY ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.
