Irworobongdo (Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks) Transforming 3D Viewer Card – Korean Heritage Gift
Experience Korean Folk Art in 3D
Irworobongdo (일월오봉도), "Painting of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks," is one of the most symbolic images in Korean royal court art. Traditionally placed directly behind the king's throne in Joseon Dynasty palaces, it depicts the sun and moon above five mountain peaks, pine trees, and flowing water — representing the king's authority and the harmony between heaven, earth, and the ruler.
The Irworobongdo Transforming 3D Viewer Card presents this royal court masterpiece as a flat card that transforms into a personal 3D viewer with one simple press.
A Symbol of the Joseon Royal Court
Irworobongdo was traditionally displayed behind the royal throne and in other spaces associated with the king.
Rather than depicting a specific natural landscape, the painting presents an idealized and symbolic world. The balanced arrangement of celestial bodies, mountains, trees, waterfalls, and water creates an image of order, continuity, and enduring vitality.
When placed behind the king, the screen formed a powerful visual setting that connected royal authority with the harmony and permanence of the natural world.
Discover the Layers of the Composition
The 3D viewing format emphasizes the carefully arranged layers of Irworobongdo.
The pine trees and waves appear in the foreground, the five peaks rise through the center, and the sun and moon occupy the upper sky. Waterfalls connect the mountains and water, helping guide the eye through the composition.
Viewed through the built-in lenses, these elements create a deeper visual experience than an ordinary flat postcard or print.
A Card That Becomes a 3D Viewer
The product is designed for immediate use. There are no separate parts to assemble and no complicated folding process. Press the top and bottom edges toward the center, turn the viewer horizontally, and bring it to your eyes. The card instantly changes from a flat format into a functional viewing form.
How to Use
- Hold the card upright.
- Press the top and bottom edges toward the center.
- Turn the viewer horizontally.
- Hold it up to your eyes.
- Look through the built-in lenses to experience the artwork in 3D.
Not a Lenticular Card
This product is not a lenticular postcard.
A lenticular card creates its visual effect directly on the printed surface, usually by tilting the card from side to side.
The 3D FOLCA works differently. The card itself transforms into a personal viewer, and the artwork is seen through its built-in optical lenses.
It is also different from a conventional pop-up card. A pop-up card creates raised paper shapes when opened, while the 3D FOLCA forms a viewing device designed for looking into the artwork.
| Product Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Lenticular card | The image changes or appears dimensional when tilted |
| Pop-up card | Paper elements rise when the card is opened |
| 3D FOLCA Viewer Card | The flat card transforms into a viewer with built-in lenses |

- Compact and Portable — easy for storage, packaging, gifting, and display
- A Layered Royal Landscape - The 3D viewing format highlights the visual relationship between the waves, pine trees, mountains, waterfalls, sun, and moon.
- Korean Heritage in a New Format - The transforming viewer offers a new way to encounter one of the most iconic visual symbols of the Joseon royal court.

FAQ
Is this a lenticular postcard?
No. Lenticular cards rely on printed film and viewing angle. 3D FOLCA uses a built-in optical viewer to deliver true stereoscopic depth.
Do I need an app, battery, or headset to see the 3D effect?
No. Just press the card and look through the built-in lenses — no app, no power, no separate device.
What does Irworobongdo mean?
It translates to "Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks" — a traditional Korean royal court screen painting placed behind the king's throne to symbolize royal authority and cosmic balance.
