Publisher's Synopsis

Lush pine forests can be found throughout the Korean peninsula as the pine tree has successfully adapted to its natural environment over thousands of years. The evergreen pine forests have a different ambience and beauty from one region to another - from one season to the next - adding a unique charm to the landscape. Taking root on solid rocks and staying green even through snowstorms, the pine tree not only symbolises Korea's natural landscape, but also the resilient spirit and character of the people who have maintained their national identity in the face of many adversities.
