"Mother-of-Pearl (najeon or jagae in native Korean) is a highly intricate decorative technique whose tradition in Korea has been kept alive for more than a thousand years. Pearl oyster, conch, and abalone shells are filed to reveal the iridescent inner layers. Thin strips are then inlaid into a black lacquered surface. The whole thing is pained again, and then the excess lacquer is carefully filed away to reveal the brillian and translucent colors of different patterns. Thus the common expression 'najeon chilgi,' where 'chil' means 'painting.' Najeon chilgi is not just about shiny shells. Shell's brillian colors come alive because of the pitch-black lacquer. Its true beauty is revealed not under bright lights, but under dim candle light or delicate sunlight seepin through Korean traditional windows covered in Korean paper 'Light etched into darkness.' Najeon chilgi is a thousand-year-old light of nature, the most intricate and beautiful of traditional lacquer-ware, and an applied art that represents Korea's beautiful traditional aesthetics."https://chaplainnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/20160509_203305.jpgKorean art on rice paperA painting of a traditional Korean village scene painted on rice paper.https://chaplainnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/20160508_171326.jpgYeon Deung HoeHot Dog and French Fries in one hand.
