: NAMU :
In celebration of Korea's Arbor Day, this pattern was designed with trees, one of the most representative living symbols of plants.
Among them, it was inspired by bamboo and pine trees, which have been prevalent in our culture since ancient times and hold significant meanings.
Arbor Day originates from the planting of trees on February 25, 677, during the reign of King Munmu of Silla, commemorating the day when he expelled the forces of Tang and achieved the unification of the three kingdoms.
It is also the day when King Seongjong of the Joseon Dynasty, along with the crown prince and civil servants, personally tilled the fields and performed ancestral rites at Seonnongdan outside Dongdaemun.
As such, Arbor Day carries immense significance in national history and agricultural and forestry philosophy.
April 5th was designated as Arbor Day because it is a suitable time to plant trees seasonally around the Qingming period.
Arbor Day serves as a meaningful day to reflect on our history and culture and to love and protect trees. We are introducing OUWR's new NAMU (Tree) series pattern,
created with the hope of contributing to tree planting efforts and making our land greener.
