Korean art is often marked by the use of bold color, natural forms, precise shape and scale, and surface decoration.

Koreans are not inclined to enjoy the artificial, and one will find rare traces of their efforts to decorate their surroundings. Unlike the Chinese and the Japanese, Koreans do not do artificial landscaping; to them, the little grasses and flowers that grow of their own accord along the fencerow or the wild chrysanthemums that peek out from behind the big condiment jars in the yard are landscaping enough.

Wild chrysanthemum is a most likely candidate that represent the Korean heart and mind.
