죽암-竹庵

Jook-Am is the pseudonym of Grand-master Park, Jung-tae.  “Jook” means bamboo which shoots up straight without any curves, its roots intertwine to form an inseparable force.  “Am” is a rock, on which the bamboo strikes its roots to form an unshakable foundation.  The pattern represents the life of Grandmaster Park and his striving for perfection.  The diagram symbolizes the bamboo, which grows high from the rock.  The 95 movements represent the year 1995, the year Jook-Am was created.
