The Korean National Flower is the “Mugung hwa” – also known as, “The Rose of Sharon”.
My Korean teacher last night told me, “The spirit of the Korean people is like the national flower…”
“mugung” means “forever/eternity” and “hwa” is the chinese character for flower…
The Korean people have lasted, survived – the flowers survive for a long time, blossoming in early summer and staying in bloom through to almost November.
Am I like the mugung-hwa?

My Korean teacher also said, “The Japanese national flower is the ’sakura’ – or the ‘cherry blossom’. Every cherry bud blooms in one week, and then all falls to the grown the next. This is the spirit of the Japanese people.”

무궁화 무궁화 우리나라 꽃
삼천리 강산에 우리 나라 꽃
이 노래 알어?
When I was in 북한 elementary school in Japan(age 6-10), my teacher taught me^^
일본은 Sakura네..
Do you know Utada Hikaru’s song called
“Sakura drops”?
It’s really interesting song!

There are both English and Japanese version for this song!
Lyrics: Utada Hikaru
I fall in love, and the love is over
What I swear is, may this be the last Heartbreak
Even the cherryblossom in the winds sways
and soon they will blossom
Summer rain that began to fall
passed by beside the tears, quietly
The images overlapped with memories
A rerun of the autumn drama
Why is it always the same kind of punches
that I receive all the time
Even so I will fight again
That is a mystery of life
I fall in love, and devote everything
What I hope is, may this be the last Heartbreak
Even the cherryblossom in the time sways
and soon they will blossom
In the seasons repeated over and over
shoes are wearing out
Loosen up your shoulders more
Keep the past somewhere
It will not be that far away from here
The scenery that I have never seen
The endless pain of my heart, I’m getting over it
and I want to be closer to you
Going one round and coming back
I feel my way in blue sky all the time
I fall in love, and the love is over
What I swear is, may today be the first good day
ntil the cherryblossom in the winds sways
and quietly reaches out for you
I love you, I can’t stop loving you
That has nothing to do with this

I just wanted to thank you for posting that picture, it’s so beautiful! In fact, how I came across it was because I was looking for some Korean art that would be meaningful enough for me to tattoo on my body – it will be the only tattoo I will ever have. I wanted something on the side of my abdomen like the cherry blossom tree, but when I saw this picture, I knew immediately that this would be it. Thank you for posting this picture or I would have never found it. It means a lot to me and I will treasure it for the rest of my life!
