The Story of Serenity Totem
In Korean tradition, the Myungtae (dried pollock) has long been cherished as a guardian of the home. For generations, families hung a real Myungtae above doorways—a sincere ritual to invite safety and peace into every journey.
I have reimagined this protector as a ‘Serenity Totem’ using Mosi, a sustainable Korean ramie fabric prized for its crisp, translucent beauty. Every detail is a labor of love, designed to bring this quiet tradition into your modern space.
From the hand-embroidered features to the gold-touched tail, every hand-wound thread carries a silent wish for your well-being. May its watchful eyes turn away negativity, while the carefully wound layers draw an abundance of blessings into your life.
May it bring stillness to your heart,
a smile to your face,
and a gentle breeze of luck to your every day.
