Chaekgado Sijeonji
(Book Poem Letter)
With academic achievement and success ⌄
Chaekgado is a still-life painting style depicting various valuables, such as ceramics, stationery, and antique bronze vessels, arranged inside a bookshelf alongside books. Also known as Chaekgeori, it originated during the reign of King Jeongjo in the late 18th century and became widely popular in the 19th century. These ornate objects evoke the small joys of everyday life, making them an excellent choice for writing with the hope that the recipient will prosper.

Chaekgado Sijeonji is a handmade paper reinterpreted through the unique perspective of GREETINGS FOLKS, designed to be as convenient to use as a postcard. The front side allows for writing poems vertically, while the back can be used as a postcard. Finished with a stamp just like traditional poetry paper, its charm lies in the natural imperfection where the imprint becomes lighter or darker depending on the pressure applied. It is a thick, handmade Hanji paper; although irregular, the unique texture and fibers of Hanji remain intact, allowing you to feel a naturally bumpy surface when writing with a pencil or pen. Each stroke carries a subtle breath, making it perfect for expressing your heartfelt wishes for the recipient's success.

The envelope is a modern reinterpretation of letter envelopes during Joseon Dynasty. When you write on the embossed texture, your ink will bleed into the layers of the paper like thick meok (traditional black ink). You can feel this with your hands after writing. It's a handcrafted card made one by one, ideal for conveying welcome news to be delivered by the imprinted swallows.

Filled with happiness ⌄
This handmade stationery is crafted by stamping traditional Korean stationery patters onto paper containing the unique fibers of Sunji (a type of Hanji usually used for Minhwa, or folk paintings). The distinctive texture and fibers of Hanji remain intact, creating a naturally bumpy surface when writing with a pencil or pen. The natural imperfection—where the imprint becomes lighter or darker depending on the pressure applied—adds a touch of analog romance. This handmade stationery allows you to write letters horizontally or poems vertically.

The envelope is made of dark yet clear purple paper, inspired by traditional bojagi with different colors on the front and back. The envelope inside is a blue silk liner embossed with flowers and butterflies. Together with the letter paper, the bright colors and fine texture allow you to convey your warm feelings. Each piece of stationery is handcrafted in small quantities.

* Since the stamp is made by hand, it may not be perectly printed or the margins may vary slightly.

민화란 말은 1937년에 일본의 민예운동가 야나기 무네요시(柳宗悦, 1889-1961)가 처음 제안했다. 우리가 이 명칭을 받아들인 것은 그로부터 40여 년이 지난 1970년에 들어와서이다. “그림에는 반드시 뜻이 있고, 뜻은 반드시 길상이다. 圖必有意, 有必吉祥”

our own wrapping-style envelope that gently encases
our stationery, using paper and materials that reflect
the beauty of Korea.

Bojagi
From the collection of the National Museum of Korea

We hope that, with our small-batch,
hand-crafted stationery, you can share
your heartfelt sentiments in

a way that feels all the more special.

First coated on sunji (traditional Korean mulberry paper)
with mulgyo (animal glue), made over the course of a day 
to prevent the pigments from bleeding, then carefully painted in
layers using hand-mixed bunchae (mineral pigments), each minhwa
(Korean folk painting) is crafted into a card.

OUR CARDs


Our cards cradle your earnest emotions in beautiful bojagi through a contemporary lens that reinterprets minhwa and other traditional Korean compositions.

Winter Pinetree
Happiness that endures even through the coldest winter ⌄
Irworobongdo, the painting of the sun, moon and five peaks, was traditionally depicted on folding screens featuring pine trees. Placed behind the royal throne in the main hall of Joseon palaces, it symbolised the king and his authority. The ever-green pine trees represent longevity, integrity, and resilience.

This is a two-fold card that captures the pine trees of Irworobongdo in a dimensional form. The front illustrates a serene forest of green pines under falling snow, while the back portrays the innocent joy of a jade rabbit playing across a snowy field. The envelope reinterprets a type of Joseon Dynasty time envelopes in a modern way, layered with white paper to evoke a softly shimmering, snow-filled sky.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted in small quantities, offering a special experience and a sense of warmth from the moment the card is opened. Let the vitality and quiet beauty of the pine trees stand in your space like a folding screen, carrying with it a gentle and heartfelt wish.

Full Moon Dalhangari
May abundant fortune always be by your side ⌄
The white moon jar is a large form of white porcelain that emerged in the late Joseon period. It embodies the beauty of restraint and simplicity and reflects the gentle milky tone, graceful curves, and generous, unadorned form that defines Joseon ceramics.

This moon jar card is crafted from paper that blends fine earthy flecks with the texture of hanji, evoking the quiet presence of the moon itself. Its tactile quality along with its balanced weight and smooth yet substantial feel, leaves a lasting impression when held. The front is embossed with the form of a moon jar, while the back bears the GREETINGS FOLKs seal in the same manner as a potter's mark on porcelain. This adds identity and meaning to the piece. The natural variation in the stamping, where the ink settles more or less, brings its own quiet charm.

Reinterpreting the traditional bojagi through a contemporary lens, the envelope is handcrafted in small quantities using soft yellow paper reminiscent of moonlight. From the moment it is opened, it conveys warmth and care, completing the experience like a thoughtful gift.

The front or back offers space for a short message or drawing, allowing you to send it with your own personal touch.

*Chochungdo* (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang, or "paintings of grasses and insects," delicately captures the small lives of nature. The plants and flowers deicted are rendered with a vivid, sunlit vitality and have long been cherished for their quiet beauty. In one corner of *Chochungdo*, the bindweed blooms modestly - its slender vines stretching outward, paired with soft, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom between June and August. This card reinterprets the bindweed through a blend of minhwa and botanical illustration. Designed so that the vines and dayflower gently spread across the card, it allows for a short message on the front. When opened, it allows the writer to make their own unique composition where the floral vines and written words come together to make a single painting. The envelope draws inspiration from the traditional bojagi, reimagined in a contemporary form. It carries the texture of a night shifting from summer into autumn, with an inner lining of blue silk that softly reflects the tones of the flowers - elegance and quiet radiance. Each envelope is carefully handcrafted, and like the tradition of wrapping a gift with care, it holds and delivers your message with gentle intention.

Heave-ho!
with Health and abundance ⌄
This minhwa depicts a hedgehog cheekily gathering ripe summer cucumbers and carries a sense of humour, while its densely set spines symbolise fertility, abundance, a bountiful harvest, and prosperity.

In *Sipjangsaengdo* (the painting of longevity symbols), the reishi mushroom appears with a form resembling auspicious clouds, representing wishes for fulfilment (*yeoui*), longevity, and even immortality. Thriving in the crisp temperature shifts of autumn, reishi can also be encountered as a rare presence during mountain hikes.

This single-fold card captures an autumn scene delivered by a hedgehog carrying reishi mushrooms. On the front, the hedgehog leaves behind small footprints while transporting the mushrooms. When opened, a wide autumn field unfolds with high skies above and reishi mushrooms ripening in abundance. Look closely to find the hedgehog’s charming traces within the scene. Your handwritten message, written with care, completes the card.

The envelope reinterprets the form of a traditional bojagi with contrasting colours on each side. Deep brown paper reflects the depth of late autumn, while the warm orange tone carries the glow of sunlight and the spirit of abundance.

Beoseon
Health and abundance ⌄
The beoseon is a type of footwear consisting of a pair of socks worn with hanbok, Korean traditional clothing, and designed for protection, warmth, and style. It is also called jogui, jokgeon or mal in hanja.

This Christmas beoseonbal card is made to carry your warm and welcome-hearted message. Crafted from flecked paper with a soft, comforting texture, and finished with embossed quilting, it holds a gentle sense of warmth in both touch and form.

Pink silk thread is hand-twisted to present the toe detail of the traditional beoseon in a playful way. Using the Korean dongsimgyeol knot, the card is designed not only as a greeting, but also to be hung as a small ornament or kept as an object in your space.

The envelope draws from traditional bojagi, with contrasting colours on each side. It is handcrafted using bright, clear light-green paper, paired with an inner lining of orange silk adorned with flowers and butterflies. Each piece is carefully made by hand, one by one.

Hang it like a small object in your space, and may the kindness it carries remain with you for a long time.

Birthday Guard
A guardian of your birthday ⌄
The White Tiger is one of the Four Guardian Deities presiding over the western realms of palaces and the heavens. With its mystical strength, it is believed to ward off negative energies, stand by one’s side, and invite good fortune—embodying power, courage, and protection. This card carries a heartfelt wish of steady support for the year ahead, offered to someone celebrating their birthday.

This birthday card features a White Tiger, painted in the minhwa tradition using a finely split four-tip brush. Layers of black ink and white pigment are carefully built up to express the texture of its fur.

The front of the card features a tiger-pattern motif, while the back is marked with GREETINGS FOLKs’ minhwa-inspired logo. The inside is left blank, allowing you to freely write your own message.

The deep purple hue has long been associated with status, ceremony, and objects of significance, symbolising dignity and refinement. The inside of the envelope is inspired by jade, carrying meanings of auspiciousness, purity, and safeguarding. Jade was worn for protection and good fortune. In harmony with the protective strength of the White Tiger, it holds a quiet wish for the recipient’s year ahead to be both abundant and secure.

The term "Minhwa" was first proposed in 1937 by the Japanese folk art movement activist Yanagi Muneyoshi (1889–1961). About 40 years later, in 1920, we adopted this name. “There is always meaning in a painting, and meaning is always good fortune.”

Strawberry
May happiness come in everyday moments ⌄
*Chochungdo* (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang, or "paintings of grasses and insects," delicately captures the small lives of nature. Among its elements, the wild raspberry stands out because of its richness, vitality, and lively charm.

Here, the wild raspberry is reinterpreted as the modern strawberry and painted in the minhwa style. The repeating strawberry pattern brings a lively, humorous touch to traditional beauty, creating a postcard that feels both spirited and special in everyday moments.

The envelope is inspired by the traditional *bojagi*, reimagined in a contemporary form. Like a wrapping cloth with contrasting sides, it pairs a fresh strawberry-red outer paper with an inner lining of a traditional-inspired strawberry pattern. Each piece is carefully handcrafted in small quantities, giving subtle variations that make every envelope unique. Like the care taken in wrapping a gift, it offers a special experience from the moment the postcard is opened.

Abundant blessings be with you. ⌄
Chochungdo (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang means “paintings of grasses and insects.” It closely observes small forms of life in nature. The plants and flowers are full of light and vitality, which is why the work has been long admired. In this piece, the plants from Chochungdo are reinterpreted using minhwa and botanical illustration. Vertical lines inspired by Joseon-era letter paper are added to bring a sense of tradition into a modern format. The result is a postcard that feels both classic and current. The envelope is inspired by traditional bojagi. It is reimagined in modern form, using the texture of jade-coloured linen and a simple, refined shape. Each one is made by hand in small quantities. Like the careful wrapping of a gift during the Joseon era, it carries your message with grace and poise.

Jade Rabbit's Easter
May great happiness and joy be with you ⌄
In a 19th-century tale of the jade rabbit beneath the cassia tree, it is said that the rabbit pounds herbs on the round moon to make an elixir of immortality - a symbol of hope.

This stationery revisits that tale in a modern way. The jade rabbits hold Easter eggs and dance together, arms linked in joy. Paired with the vertical lines of Joseon-era letter paper, it becomes a distinctive Easter postcard.

The envelope draws from the traditional bojagi, reinterpreted in a modern form. Made from yellow paper with a linen-like texture, it carries the glow of soft moonlight. Each one is carefully handcrafted, adding warmth and a festive sense of joy to the spirit of Easter.

Full Moon Dalhangari
May abundant fortune always be by your side ⌄
The white moon jar is a large form of white porcelain that emerged in the late Joseon period. It embodies the beauty of restraint and simplicity and reflects the gentle milky tone, graceful curves, and generous, unadorned form that defines Joseon ceramics.

This moon jar card is crafted from paper that blends fine earthy flecks with the texture of hanji, evoking the quiet presence of the moon itself. Its tactile quality along with its balanced weight and smooth yet substantial feel, leaves a lasting impression when held. The front is embossed with the form of a moon jar, while the back bears the GREETINGS FOLKs seal in the same manner as a potter's mark on porcelain. This adds identity and meaning to the piece. The natural variation in the stamping, where the ink settles more or less, brings its own quiet charm.

Reinterpreting the traditional bojagi through a contemporary lens, the envelope is handcrafted in small quantities using soft yellow paper reminiscent of moonlight. From the moment it is opened, it conveys warmth and care, completing the experience like a thoughtful gift.

The front or back offers space for a short message or drawing, allowing you to send it with your own personal touch.

*Chochungdo* (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang, or "paintings of grasses and insects," delicately captures the small lives of nature. The plants and flowers deicted are rendered with a vivid, sunlit vitality and have long been cherished for their quiet beauty. In one corner of *Chochungdo*, the bindweed blooms modestly - its slender vines stretching outward, paired with soft, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom between June and August. This card reinterprets the bindweed through a blend of minhwa and botanical illustration. Designed so that the vines and dayflower gently spread across the card, it allows for a short message on the front. When opened, it allows the writer to make their own unique composition where the floral vines and written words come together to make a single painting. The envelope draws inspiration from the traditional bojagi, reimagined in a contemporary form. It carries the texture of a night shifting from summer into autumn, with an inner lining of blue silk that softly reflects the tones of the flowers - elegance and quiet radiance. Each envelope is carefully handcrafted, and like the tradition of wrapping a gift with care, it holds and delivers your message with gentle intention.

Heave-ho!
With health and abundance ⌄
A minhwa depicting a hedgehog cheekily gathering ripe summer cucumbers carries a sense of humour, while its densely set spines symbolise fertility, abundance, a bountiful harvest, and prosperity.

In *Sipjangsaengdo* (the painting of longevity symbols), the reishi mushroom appears with a form resembling auspicious clouds, representing wishes for fulfilment (*yeoui*), longevity, and even immortality. Thriving in the crisp temperature shifts of autumn, reishi can also be encountered as a rare presence during mountain walks in the season.

This single-fold card captures an autumn scene delivered by a hedgehog carrying reishi mushrooms. On the front, the hedgehog is shown transporting the mushrooms, leaving behind small footprints. When opened, a wide autumn field unfolds—high skies above and reishi mushrooms ripening in abundance. Look closely to find the hedgehog’s charming traces within the scene. Your handwritten message, pressed with care, completes the card.

The envelope reinterprets the form of a traditional bojagi with contrasting colours on each side. Deep brown paper reflects the depth of late autumn, while the warm orange tone carries the glow of sunlight and the spirit of abundance.

A fitting piece to share the sentiments of autumn alongside wishes of good fortune.

Beoseon (Korean traditional socks)
Health and abundance ⌄
The beoseon is a type of footwear consisting of a pair of socks worn with hanbok, Korean traditional clothing, and designed for protection, warmth, and style. It is also called jogui, jokgeon or mal in hanja.

This Christmas beoseonbal card is made to carry your warm and welcome-hearted message. Crafted from flecked paper with a soft, comforting texture, and finished with embossed quilting, it holds a gentle sense of warmth in both touch and form.

Pink silk thread is hand-twisted to present the toe detail of the traditional beoseon in a playful way. Using the Korean dongsimgyeol knot, the card is designed not only as a greeting, but also to be hung as a small ornament or kept as an object in your space.

The envelope draws from traditional bojagi, with contrasting colours on each side. It is handcrafted using bright, clear light-green paper, paired with an inner lining of orange silk adorned with flowers and butterflies. Each piece is carefully made by hand, one by one.

Hang it like a small object in your space, and may the kindness it carries remain with you for a long time.

Strawberry
May happiness come in everyday moments ⌄
*Chochungdo* (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang, or "paintings of grasses and insects," delicately captures the small lives of nature. Among its elements, the wild raspberry stands out because of its richness, vitality, and lively charm.

Here, the wild raspberry is reinterpreted as the modern strawberry and painted in the minhwa style. The repeating strawberry pattern brings a lively, humorous touch to traditional beauty, creating a postcard that feels both spirited and special in everyday moments.

The envelope is inspired by the traditional *bojagi*, reimagined in a contemporary form. Like a wrapping cloth with contrasting sides, it pairs a fresh strawberry-red outer paper with an inner lining of a traditional-inspired strawberry pattern. Each piece is carefully handcrafted in small quantities, giving subtle variations that make every envelope unique. Like the care taken in wrapping a gift, it offers a special experience from the moment the postcard is opened.

Shin Saimdang's Garden
Abundant blessings be with you. ⌄
Chochungdo (草蟲圖) by Shin Saimdang means “paintings of grasses and insects.” It closely observes small forms of life in nature. The plants and flowers are full of light and vitality, which is why the work has been long admired.

In this piece, the plants from Chochungdo are reinterpreted using minhwa and botanical illustration. Vertical lines inspired by Joseon-era letter paper are added to bring a sense of tradition into a modern format. The result is a postcard that feels both classic and current.

The envelope is inspired by traditional bojagi. It is reimagined in modern form, using the texture of jade-coloured linen and a simple, refined shape. Each one is made by hand in small quantities. Like the careful wrapping of a gift during the Joseon era, it carries your message with grace and poise.

Jade Rabbit's Easter
With huges happyness ⌄
In a 19th-century tale of the jade rabbit beneath the cassia tree, it is said that the rabbit pounds herbs on the round moon to make an elixir of immortality—a symbol of hope.

This story is reimagined in a modern way. The jade rabbits hold Easter eggs and dance together, arms linked in joy. Paired with the vertical lines of *seonbi* letter paper, it becomes a distinctive Easter postcard.

The envelope draws from the traditional *bojagi*, reinterpreted in a modern form. Made from yellow paper with a ramie-like texture, it carries the glow of soft moonlight. Each one is carefully handcrafted, adding warmth and a quiet sense of joy to the spirit of Easter.
