Moon white - Josunyo Sculpture

Moon white jar is a type of traditional Korean pottery that is particularly characterized by its round and smooth shape. It mainly emphasizes natural shapes and lines, and white porcelain is a common material. These moon jars have many cultural meanings due to their unique beauty and harmonious proportions. Kim Young-sik, an intangible cultural asset, received all his artistic education from a prestigious pottery family that has been passed down from generation to generation in Korea for 270 years. This is an education that has been passed down for eight generations. Munsan Kim Young-sik, who runs Joseonyo under Haneuljae in Gwaneum-ri, Mungyeong-eum, Gyeongsangbuk-do, is the only 8th generation owner in Korea. He is the eldest grandson of the oldest pottery making family. Kim Yeong-sik has been in the family for generations since his 8th great-grandfather, Kim Chwi-jeong, first started spinning on a pottery wheel 240 years ago. They own and preserve the kiln that has been firing white porcelain for 170 years. This kiln is designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Folk Cultural Heritage No. 135. It is a Mangdaengi kiln built with clay that has been shaped like a mortar and dried, and the fact that it has not collapsed even over a long period of time shows the family's history. His works are made using pottery techniques passed down from generation to generation, using clay and glaze from the Mungyeong region, and are natural and simple. And you can see that there is sincere generosity and lack of greed.
