DanCheong

Dancheong is a traditional Korean decorative art used on wooden architecture such as temples and palaces, dating back to the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE). Known for its vibrant patterns and rich symbolism, Dancheong was used not only to enhance beauty but also to protect buildings from weather and wear.
This unique art form features five symbolic colors—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—representing harmony, balance, and the natural elements. Through repeating patterns and bold color combinations, Dancheong reflects both nature and artistic expression.
