The Glare of Black Lacquer
The plates of black lacquer are light as air, contrary to the luminous and profound dark tone of the surface. The depths of darkness and the reflections of light blending together are forever instilling a profound feeling, despite the small size and light body of its physical presence before us.
Into the Depths of Coal-Dark Iron
In the cold scenes of winter, perhaps for a cup of hot tea, we are served by a Cast Iron Kettle made of black iron of the north. The heavy iron illuminates light reflecting the fire or sunlight entering the room. The hand-applied fine dots on the surface of the iron, are images of showering hail. The darkness and glare of iron, my fingers contour the handle's smooth polished finish.
Warm Colors of The Soil
The rice bowl, the brown clay melts into the glaze, the ink and glaze solidify, forming an arbitrary and free pattern.
The Energy of Vibrant Brush Strokes
Ceramic ware from pastoral regions, in keeping with the demands of everyday life, is made thicker and stronger, and has a heavy weight, pattern and texture of a healthy and robust physique. The lines and brushstrokes are a sign of bold, fluid, and hearty productive energy. We are reminded of the landscape of farms and mountains, of rice farmers, under a clear, cloudless sky.
The ink, made from iron minerals, is painted onto small white plates, showing a rhythmic yet natural pattern, each grass, each petal, each line of a square. The charming bowls and plates make us imagine the craftsperson in the remote towns in the countryside, working silently in his painting of lines.
The Serenity of Fine Torquoise Celadon
Why do we feel calmness and serenity when we look at celadon? The colors are rarely the same for each kiln. Be it blue, it is initially an idea inside the artisans' dream. The finished porcelain ware shows perfect blue like a materialized dream. It has a restrained brilliance, a blend of shadows that gives a deep, meditative impression, the blue illuminating a sympathetic emotion.
Exquisite Beauty of Fine Paintings
The shine of a white color, gives us a limpid and beautiful light. The straight red lines and curves blend with the herbal paintings of green and blue. These dishes share with us the vitality and creative hope of artisans to explore their potential. We feel in these extravagant designs the vital energy of artisans from cities, centers of culture.
A brief scroll through some of the traditional styles of our country's porcelain, stoneware and lacquerware. One needs not be acquainted with the knowledge of fine art to appreciate them. It is enough for our human senses of touch and the eye to perceive and feel the vibrant energy of every craft, delicately made by artisans who speak liittle themselves.
