Shin Saimdang (Korean: 신사임당; Hanja: 申師任堂; 29 October 1504 – 17 May 1551[1]) was a Korean artist, writer, calligraphist, and poet, who lived during the Joseon period. She was born in Gangneung, Gangwon Province. Her birth home, Ojukheon, which is also her maternal family's home, is well-preserved to this day. She was the mother of the Korean Confucian scholar Yi Yi. Often held up as a model of Confucian ideals, her respectful nickname was Eojin ("Wise Mother").[2][3] Her real name was Shin In-seon (신인선; 申仁善). Her pen names were Saim (사임; 師任), Saimdang (사임당; 師任堂), Inimdang (인임당; 姻姙堂), and Imsajae (임사재; 姙師齊). She was a contemporary of the poet Heo Nansseolheon, and the two women were considered rivals.
