The Bong-hwang Phoenix: An Emblem of Peace & Virtue Inlay Cutting Board
Bring a symbol of ultimate good fortune into your home with our Bong-hwang (봉황) cutting board. In Korean legend, the Bong-hwang is a sacred phoenix whose appearance signals the arrival of a golden age of peace and prosperity. It is a revered emblem of royalty, integrity, and grace.
Unlike the Western phoenix, the Bong-hwang is not about rebirth from ash, but about the presence of greatness. It is said to embody the five essential virtues: Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trust. This board is a tribute to that powerful and positive symbolism, making it a meaningful centerpiece for any kitchen and a profound gift for life's most important milestones.
Handmade in our Worcester, MA workshop, the majestic Bong-hwang is brought to life with a stunning inlay of bright Maple and Cherry wood, set against a rich, dark Walnut base. Our expert "end-grain" construction is not only beautiful but also durable and gentle on your knives, keeping them sharper for longer. At 1.5 inches thick, this board is a substantial piece of functional art, designed to be used and admired for generations.
