Van het Seizoen

23 July

대서 Daeseo

Major Heat

The hottest days of the year, thick with summer haze.

Seasonal wisdom

Falling within the sambok (삼복) dog days, this was when people ate hot samgyetang (삼계탕), believing in "fighting heat with heat," and wore loose hemp sambe (삼베) clothing that let air move against the skin.

Draw something that captures the feeling of 대서 Daeseo — its color, its mood, its moment in the year. Anything goes, as long as it's a simple line drawing in this term's color.
