Description

Late 20th century South Korean silk paddle-style hand fan with lacquered wood handle, decorated with a tri-color sam taegeuk design in yellow, red, and purple.

"Taegeuk is a Sino-Korean term meaning "supreme ultimate", although it can also be translated as "great polarity / duality / extremes". The term and its overall concept are derived from the Chinese Taiji, popularised in the West as the Yin and Yang. The symbol was chosen for the design of the Korean national flag in the 1880s. A variant in South Korea is the tricolored taegeuk, which adds a yellow lobe or pa. The yellow portion is taken as representing humanity, in addition to the red and blue representing Earth and Heaven, respectively." (Wikipedia)
