Imperial Seal of Korea
The Imperial Seal of Korea or Ihwamun (Korean: 이화문; Hanja: 李花紋) was one of the symbols of the Korean Empire. It was originally the emblem of the royal family and was subsequently used for the coat of arms of the short-lived empire. The symbol features a plum flower (이화, Ihwa or Ehwa). Today, the seal is used as a symbol by the families' association of the Jeonju Yi clan, which was the royal family of Joseon dynasty and the imperial family of the Korean Empire.
