However, in Korean folk painting (\u003cem\u003eMinhwa\u003c\/em\u003e), every motif carries a deeper symbolic meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMinhwa\u003c\/em\u003e refers to Korea’s traditional folk painting. Unlike court painting, which was created for the royal court and aristocracy, Minhwa emerged from the everyday lives of ordinary people. The mostly anonymous artists created their works not merely as decoration, but above all as expressions of wishes for happiness, health, longevity, prosperity, and family harmony. Animals, plants, and other natural motifs served as symbols whose meanings were immediately understood by people of that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting \u003cstrong\u003e“Yuha Myodo, 유하묘도” (Cats Under the Willow)\u003c\/strong\u003e is traditionally attributed to the Joseon Dynasty painter \u003cstrong\u003eJo Ji-un (조지운, 1637–1691)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Since its authorship cannot be established with complete certainty, it is described as “attributed to the painter.” Regardless, the work is considered an outstanding example of the symbolic visual language of Korean folk art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two adult cats represent a harmonious married couple and a peaceful family life. The three kittens symbolize the wish for numerous descendants and a thriving family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn East Asian culture, the cat also holds special significance. The Chinese character for “cat” (猫, 묘) is pronounced similarly to the character 耄, which refers to an advanced age. Because of this wordplay, the cat became a symbol of longevity and a long, healthy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe willow represents vitality, renewal, and perseverance. Each spring, it produces new shoots, embodying the eternal cycle of life. In Korea, the magpie is still regarded as a bird of good fortune and a bearer of good news and joyful events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these pictorial motifs convey a blessing: a long life, family harmony, many descendants, as well as happiness and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorean folk painting invites viewers to look beyond what is visible. Behind seemingly everyday depictions of animals and plants lie the hopes, wishes, and values of the people who created these images and preserved them across generations. Thus, \u003cstrong\u003e“Cats Under the Willow”\u003c\/strong\u003e tells not only of a cat family, but also of the timeless longing for a happy and fulfilling life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/original-ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow.jpg?v=1785959355\" alt=\"original-ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ji-un Jo","offers":[{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 31x46 cm (12″×18″)","offer_id":53288723448075,"sku":"5322886_19299","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 46x61 cm (18″×24″)","offer_id":53288723480843,"sku":"5322886_7","price":119.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 51x76 cm (20″×30″)","offer_id":53288723513611,"sku":"5322886_19311","price":129.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 61x81 cm (24″×32″)","offer_id":53288723546379,"sku":"5322886_19316","price":139.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 61x91 cm (24″×36″)","offer_id":53288723579147,"sku":"5322886_825","price":149.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 76x102 cm (30\"x40\")","offer_id":53288724037899,"sku":"5322886_19323","price":199.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"ohne Rahmen \/ 102x152 cm (40\"x60\")","offer_id":53288724070667,"sku":"5322886_19330","price":399.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 31x46 cm (12″×18″)","offer_id":53288720564491,"sku":"4805325_17630","price":129.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 46x61 cm (18″×24″)","offer_id":53288720597259,"sku":"4805325_16038","price":199.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 51x76 cm (20″×30″)","offer_id":53288720630027,"sku":"4805325_17633","price":239.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 61x81 cm (24″×32″)","offer_id":53288720662795,"sku":"4805325_17632","price":249.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schwarz \/ 61x91 cm (24″×36″)","offer_id":53288720695563,"sku":"4805325_16039","price":269.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Braun \/ 31x46 cm (12″×18″)","offer_id":53288720728331,"sku":"4805325_17637","price":129.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Braun \/ 46x61 cm (18″×24″)","offer_id":53288720761099,"sku":"4805325_16044","price":199.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Braun \/ 51x76 cm (20″×30″)","offer_id":53288720793867,"sku":"4805325_17640","price":239.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Braun \/ 61x81 cm (24″×32″)","offer_id":53288720826635,"sku":"4805325_17639","price":249.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Braun \/ 61x91 cm (24″×36″)","offer_id":53288720859403,"sku":"4805325_16045","price":269.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 31x46 cm (12″×18″)","offer_id":53288720892171,"sku":"4805325_17644","price":129.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 46x61 cm (18″×24″)","offer_id":53288720924939,"sku":"4805325_15699","price":199.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 51x76 cm (20″×30″)","offer_id":53288720957707,"sku":"4805325_17647","price":239.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 61x81 cm (24″×32″)","offer_id":53288720990475,"sku":"4805325_17646","price":249.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Weiß \/ 61x91 cm (24″×36″)","offer_id":53288721023243,"sku":"4805325_15700","price":269.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/framed-canvas-_in_-brown-24x32-front-6a738823caae8.jpg?v=1785956398","url":"https:\/\/artlia.de\/en\/products\/canvas-ji-un-jo-katzen-unter-der-weide-cats-under-the-willow","provider":"ARTLIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
