(The name derives from "Koguryo" and is the root of the modern name "Korea.") The Koryo era (935-1392 AD) was marked by periodic internal dissensions and external (mostly defensive) wars with China, Manchuria, and Japan.
In the century of peace following a peace treaty with the Liao of China in 1022 AD, there was a flowering of culture that led to great advances in scholarship and art, particularly in the ceramics industry, which developed the distinctive grey-green celadon stoneware for which Korea is well-known today.

 The Epoch Times | The Koryo-Mongol allied invasion of Japan
Allied armies of Koryo and Kublai Khan invaded Japan in 1274 and 1281.
In 1281, the Khan formed two mighty armies: the Eastern Route Army of 30,000 led by Hong Da-gu, a Mongol general, augmented by a Koryo army of 10,000 commanded by Kim Bang-gyong and the Southern Route Army of 100,000 led by Bom Mun-ho, a Chinese general.
The Japanese claims are inconsistent with Koryo and Mongol archives - and most importantly with archeological evidence: only few shipwrecks and other footprints of the failed invasions have been discovered.

White porcelain was being produced in the Korean peninsula during the Koryo dynasty (918-1392), but it was during the Choson dynasty that it flourished.
Buddhism was the royal religion of the Koryo dynasty, while Confucianism became the political and cultural driving force of the Choson dynasty.
It is possible that white porcelain was favoured at this time, as its purity of colour could be associated with the Confucian virtues of humility and simplicity.
