The Pipe-Smoking Tiger

2025

Description

In Korea, the tiger is a powerful and brave figure believed to ward off misfortune.
Yet in traditional folk paintings, it often appears as a friendly character — smoking a pipe and speaking to people.
Such tigers were believed to always watch over us.
This hair clip captures that folkloric sensibility of Korea.
