🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"How did a few lines drawn in the dirt become a board for play?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
Kim Hong-do painted children playing gonu on a board scratched into bare ground. No costly game board, no finely carved pieces; a few pebbles and twigs were enough. The faces of the children bent close together are as earnest as any contest among grown men. I see, in this painting, that delight comes not from the worth of the tools but from the heart that sits across from you. A single line drawn in the dirt turns the whole world into a playground.
