동지 Dongji

Winter Solstice

The longest night of the year, deep and still.

Seasonal wisdom

On the year's longest night, families ate patjuk (팥죽), red bean porridge with chewy rice balls, said to ward off evil spirits — and everyone added one rice ball for each year of their age.

Draw something that captures the feeling of 동지 Dongji — 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.
