Ten Symbols of Longevity "Shipjangsaengdo" by Cho Nam-Yong (2007).

The ten symbols of longevity - rocks, water, clouds, sun, pine trees, turtles, deer, cranes, bamboo and fungus - were commonly depicted in Korean visual arts of the Josean dynasty (1392 - 1910). These and other symbols are also found in Chinese art, but their depiction as a set of ten ( called the shipjangsaengdo) is uniquely Korean.
