Buk

A buk on display at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle

The buk is a traditional style of Korean standing drum, related to the Japanese tsuri daiko. It is typically decorated with a mitsudomoe design, known as samsaeg ui taegeuk in Korean. The red, blue, and yellow colors of the design are said to represent heaven, earth, and humanity.
