Inspired by Chochungdo(초충도) paintings of Shin Saimdang(신사임담), this lantern reflects a quiet garden world of butterflies and natural abundance—symbols of vitality and harmony.

Crafted from translucent Mosi. Finished with a plum blossom Korean traditional knot (매화매듭), it embodies resilience, beauty, and renewal.

Please note: Each lantern is handmade, so the butterfly motif placement and pattern will vary slightly from the photos. These natural variations make every piece one of a kind.

Mosi (Korean ramie) is a traditional handwoven fabric made from the bast fibers of the ramie plant, a perennial member of the nettle family cultivated in Korea for centuries. Known for its long, silky fibers, ramie produces a textile that is exceptionally light, breathable, and cool to the touch, with a natural luster that grows softer over time while retaining remarkable strength.

Note:

Each lantern is individually hand-made.
Subtle variations in stitching and tone are inherent to the natural fiber and handmade process.
