About this quote

This line captures a quiet moment of reflection under the night sky. By assigning a cherished thought to each distant star, the speaker organises feelings of affection, longing, and nostalgia. It suggests that even in lonely or difficult times, looking upward helps us map out what matters most to our hearts: loved ones, peaceful memories, and enduring hope.

It comes from the 1941 poem 'Counting Stars at Night' by Korean poet Yun Dong-ju. Written during the Japanese colonial period, it was published posthumously in his 1948 collection 'Sky, Wind, Stars and Poems'.

People often hang this print beside a bed or in a quiet study to encourage calm, reflective thoughts before sleep.
