The Mantifang

Daily life, culture, Hallyu, food & ritual

The everyday layer: what people watch, cook, repeat, celebrate, inherit, and quietly adjust over time.
Enter by topic—Hallyu, food, seasonal traditions, ritual, and cultural context—without turning Korea into a checklist.

The book — compassion, karma, and presence

The Jijang Fractal is the moral and structural core of Mantifang: a book that brings Korean Buddhist imagery into dialogue with
Western philosophy and lived experience. It is written for readers who value clarity without simplification—where responsibility is not a slogan,
but a practice; where silence is not emptiness, but attention.

If you are a publisher, editor, or serious reader: the Book Hub is the clean entry. If you are new to the concept:
begin with the core piece and then follow the internal links to the longer arc.

Poems, stories, and reflective prose

Living Words is the writing practice: poetry and prose, short stories and essays, and cycles such as The Red Lamp.
This is not an archive built for completeness, but a readable entrance that stays stable as new work is published.

Healing garden, restaurant & heritage

In the Wondanggol valley, wind meets water and leaves a quiet trace on the land. Baedagol follows the shift from a theme-park past toward a calmer future:
companionship, rest, and small daily rituals that create dignity and connection. Stories, images, and practical updates live here.

Fine art & portraits

Light, texture, and presence—selected works that echo the same attention you’ll find in the essays and stories.

Koi terms & quick answers

The koi layer remains available for enthusiasts: knowledge, terms, and quick answers when a detail matters.
