Suspended with a skein of thread, it is believed to watch over the threshold, its wide eyes and open mouth serving as signs of vigilance, warding off negative energy while inviting good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersimmon\u003cbr\u003ePersimmons, known in Korean as gam (감), hold a layered place in Korean cultural memory.\u003cbr\u003eThey are often associated with transformation: the bitter green fruit gradually ripens into a vivid orange sweetness, a natural process that has also invited Buddhist readings of change and maturation. Persimmons likewise hold an important place in Korean ritual culture, particularly in the food traditions of Jongga ancestral rites, where they appear as fruits of offering and lineage remembrance. Within folk understanding, they are also linked to protection and auspicious well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEgg\u003cbr\u003eA straw-wrapped bundle of eggs, known in Korean as kkureomi (꾸러미), carries a strong sense of everyday memory for older generations.\u003cbr\u003eBefore modern packaging became common, eggs were often gathered and presented in this humble form, bound together with care and practicality. Beyond its domestic familiarity, such a bundle also came to signify abundance and good fortune, and was once given as a modest but meaningful gift expressing hopes for prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFermented Soybeans\u003cbr\u003eMeju (메주), a dried block of fermented soybeans, is one of the foundational ingredients of Korean food culture.\u003cbr\u003eUsed in the making of essential condiments such as doenjang and ganjang, it reflects a long tradition of preservation, patience, and household craft. For many older Koreans, meju also evokes a deep sense of familiarity, recalling seasonal preparation, inherited knowledge, and the rhythms of domestic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoal Briquette\u003cbr\u003eThe Korean coal briquette, commonly known as yeontan (연탄), was once a familiar presence in everyday life, especially before modern heating systems became widespread.\u003cbr\u003eIts distinct nineteen-hole form is immediately recognisable and remains closely tied to memories of warmth, labour, and winter household routine. For older generations in particular, it carries a strong sense of nostalgia, not only as a former fuel source, but as an object embedded in the lived texture of ordinary Korean life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarlic\u003cbr\u003eIn Korean folklore and cultural memory, garlic symbolizes protection, purification, and vital force.\u003cbr\u003eClosely connected to the Dangun foundation myth, it has long been understood as a substance that wards off harmful energies and supports renewal. This ceramic wall hanging presents three garlic bulbs suspended on a cord, its earthy surface moving through warm off-white and smoky brown tones that recall harvest, storage, and domestic ritual. More than a familiar food form, it stands as a quiet emblem of endurance, sustenance, and protection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFish Pollock\u003cbr\u003eLength- 23.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersimmon\u003cbr\u003eLength of Wooden Stick- 32 cm (12.6 inch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented Soybeans\u003cbr\u003eLength of Wooden Stick- 32 cm (12.6 inch)\u003cbr\u003eMeju- 4*4*6(h) cm (1.57*1.57*2.36 inch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoal Briquette\u003cbr\u003eDiameter- 6.3cm (2.48 inch)\u003cbr\u003eHeight- 5cm (1.97 inch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarlic\u003cbr\u003eWidth- 6cm (2.36 inch)\u003cbr\u003eDepth- 6cm (2.36 inch)\u003cbr\u003eHeight- 7cm (2.76 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miniatures","offers":[{"title":"Whole Set","offer_id":51980808290535,"sku":null,"price":399.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pollock","offer_id":51980807307495,"sku":null,"price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Persimmon","offer_id":51980807340263,"sku":null,"price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fermented Soybeans","offer_id":51980807373031,"sku":null,"price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Egg","offer_id":51980807405799,"sku":null,"price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coal Briquette","offer_id":51980807438567,"sku":null,"price":41.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Garlic","offer_id":51980807471335,"sku":null,"price":67.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/442077DE-A744-43B6-B240-2A5A0402C589.jpg?v=1776194518","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/ja\/products\/ceramic-folk-wall-hanging-set-traditional-symbolic-objects","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
