Minhwa represents Korean ancestors’ wishing for wealth, happiness, success and longevity. The paintings show the austere wishes to get married with beautiful love, breed many children, have the children succeed in their lives, live a long life with good health and happiness. Minhwa is an art form used to decorate the households and environs of the masses. In contrast to monochromatic paintings done by Confucius scholars and titled court painters, which revered refinement and formalism, folk paintings ignored rules of perspective and composition and the works have a lovely abstract quality, combined with freshness and a sense of whimsy. The folk paintings had the more functional purpose of celebrating good fortune, health and longevity. The folk painters drew their subject matter from shamanism, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, incorporating landscape and nature imagery as well as portraits of religious figures. The most remarkable characteristics of Korean folk paintings are their dynamic composition, the use of bold colors and simplified patterns, and the energetic and whimsical visualization of their forms, without much concern for reality. Because of these unique features Minhwa is both studied and cherished around the world. 54 poker cards all together consist of representative Korean folk paintings including Unyong Do (painting of clouds and dragons), Songhak Do (painting of pine trees and cranes), Bonghwang Do (painting of phoenixes), Moran Do (painting of peony blossom), Hwajo Do (painting of flowers and birds), Eohae Do (painting of sea creatures), Chaekga Do (painting of books).
