Cultural Significance In Korean culture, the tiger holds deep symbolic meaning as a guardian creature that wards off evil spirits and misfortune. The magpie represents good news and fortune. Tiger-related artwork and stories have been an integral part of Korean life for centuries, appearing as both a fearsome beast and a familiar, protective companion. This tiger pillow-end decoration design was traditionally believed to protect sleepers from bad dreams and ensure peaceful rest.
