Three Sam Taeguk fans from Korea, measuring 17, 15 inches and 12 inches tall. The Sam Taeguk symbol is found on traditional Korean fans. It is a variation of the Taeguk symbol found on the Korean national flag. The Taeguk is comprised of two colors, red and blue. The red represents heaven and the blue represents earth. The symbol represents harmony similar to a yin yang symbol. The Sam Taeguk includes yellow to represent humanity. These were donated by Mayor Yook, Long Jin. Chonju, Korea has been a San Diego Sister City since 1982.
