	Welcome to the Korean Cultural Service
		The earliest known Korean paintings were murals painted on the walls of tombs of the Three Kingdoms period (53 B.C. The paintings of Goguryeo were generally dynamic and rhythmic, those of Baekje elegant and refined, and those of Silla somewhat speculative and meticulous.
		Ceramics in Korea reached an apex during the 12th century of the Goryeo Dynasty with the attainment of a mysterious bluish-green celadon glaze and the innovation of a decorative inlay technique.
		Some of the earliest extant Korean writings are poems, called hyangga, written during the Unified Silla period (A.D. 668-935) using Chinese characters phonetically to represent the sounds of the Korean language, which as yet lacked a native alphabet.

		However, in spite of the similarity of ceramics between those countries, there are the characteristics and aesthetics of Korean ceramics, this discussion will limit itself to mainly examining the characteristics of Korean ceramics with Koryo celadon, Punchong ware, and white ware during two periods-Koryo period and Choson period from mid 9th century to 19th century.
		Korean ceramics can be classified according to the period which more celadon had been produced and more Punchong and White ware as well, culminating in the production.
		Firstly, the colour of ceramics is various according to quality of the glaze and clay, for example the colour of Koryo celadon is a mixture of the colour of grayish blue clay which can be seen through a greenish, translucent glaze.

		Born from the Korean earth itself and the genius of generations of craftsmen, pottery is perhaps the art form most closely tied to functionality, and thus speaks eloquently about the social context within which it was made and used.
		Korean celadons were highly prized in China and Japan at the time of their creation, and today command top prices on the international art market.

		The ceramics of the medieval Kamakura and Muromachi periods (1185-1568) is characterized by a duality of strength of form and the use of natural-ash glazes that make each piece unique.
		The most characteristic ceramic shape of this period is the “tsubo” which is a narrow mouthed jar for storage of seed.
		Age may, however, be of less importance to many Japanese ceramics fanciers than the quality, charm and aesthetic union of all the creative forces that the best of this work embodies.

	Korean History
		The beginnings of Korean history date back to the legendary period of Tan'gun, who is said to have descended from heaven 24 centuries before Christ to found a Utopian tribal state.
		However, this is considered more than a bit insulting by Koreans, as it is an impolite invention of the Japanese Colonial period designed to refer, in a purposely dismissive manner, to the Korean royalty; naturally, Japanese royalty remained inviolate, and could not be mentioned in such rude terms.
		Instead, this would later prove to be a disastrous mistake when North Korean troops, highly experienced, well-trained and armed with the latest Soviet tanks and artillery, poured across the 38th Parallel on June 25, 1950, beginning the Korean War.

	Korean-Arts About Korean Celadon
		Though the history of Korean pottery stretches back to the Neolithic age and the rough "Black Comb Pottery" produced by early tribes, the pinnacle of Korean pottery was the development and perfection of celadon (Cheong-Ja) during Korea's Koryo Dynasty.
		On seeing Korean celadons for the first time, many find little to attract them, or are even somewhat repelled by the subdued bluish or greyish green tones, which they consider monotonous and far removed from the brightly coloured porcelains with which they are more familiar...
		The quietness and subtlety of Korean pottery are said to show the quintessence of the Oriental spirit: its quiet elegance, simplicity of form and style of make have been compared with the profound and exalted spirit of Zen Buddhism....
