A pair of cranes, the Korean symbol for immortality, against the setting sun by a pine. This scroll is hand-painted on silk paper and mounted on a light green, patterned background. The poem in the lower right corner is written in Chinese characters and says:

“The pine and the crane are immortal.”
Mi-bong (pen-name)

Korea adopted Chinese characters prior to the invention of their own, unique alphabet under King Se-jong (1397-1450), and still use Chinese characters extensively. Scroll paintings feature a cord at the top for hanging, and a wood dowel at the bottom. Style JS029
