content: "Late 19th century. Color woodcut. This is one of two prints of scholars' objects (ch'aekkori) in the Bernadou Collection (see also cat. no. 122). Hough remarks on the inclusion of a dish of persimmons, "Korean fruit." The word kam [gam], meaning persimmon, is written on the top center of rhe print. Hough stares again that this print was to be hung on a closet door, without realizing such a print as rhis also decorates a stationary chest. It was not used only by common people. Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog p. 469; Houchins, 1982: 61-63" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 123]
