🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What do the objects a scholar keeps beside him tell of the person?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a chaekgeori painting, a scholar's books and brushes, inkstone and treasured belongings laid out with care. Even amid the brilliant coloring, each object holds its own use. I feel this painting reflects a person through what they possess. Someone's desk shows plainly what they cherish and where they spend their time. Not in the abundance or scarcity of possessions, but in how one keeps and handles them, the grain of a person is revealed.
