The animal that symbolizes 2020 is a mouse. In Korea, the animal was close to humans, which symbolized fertility, abundance and hope, along with the bad meaning of carrying disease and craving grain. Koreans called the mouse 'Seo-Saengwon' and made it appear familiar to many folktales. In this work, I put 'Durumagi,' a traditional Korean male costume, and 'Gat,' a traditional hat of 'Yangban,' a Joseon aristocratic class, and got the motif from the pose of a mouse, one of the 12 gods appearing in traditional folktales, and reflected it on the character.The rice and rich ribbons in hand mean a year of abundance. Unlike the traditional dress, the stylish goggles blend the modern feel. Let's hope happiness, love and cash will be rich for everyone in 2020.
2020, 경자년 - 쥐의 해 기념🐁 / 2020 Celebrates the Year of the Mouse.
