Sun and moon, five peaks, twin waterfalls, pines and waves painted in strict symmetry. Wherever the Joseon king sat, this screen stood behind the throne, and it was said the picture was complete only when the king took his place before it. Its ordered pattern of deep blue-green, red and white foam was an emblem of royal authority.
