Irworobongdo (Korean: 일월오봉도; Hanja: 日月五峯圖) is a Korean folding screen with a highly stylized landscape painting of a sun and moon, five peaks which always was set behind Eojwa, the king’s royal throne during the Joseon Dynasty.[1][2] It literally means "Painting of the Sun, Moon and the Five Peaks" and is also called "Irwoldo" ("Painting of the Sun and Moon") or "Irwolgonryundo" ("Painting of the Sun, Moon and Mount Kunlun"). The sun and moon symbolize the king and queen while the five peaks denotes a mythical place. The screen serves to display the majesty of the Joseon royal court.[3]
