- 83-year-old Potter Yu is seen creating ceramic vases using techniques developed during the Koryo Dynasty in Korea a thousand years ago. He works with his sons and creates a hundred at a time, with one featuring a carved pattern of a dragon biting its own tale. They bake them all night in the kiln and in the morning they break into pieces any that are deemed "imperfect." At the end a poem is read over shots of the finished pieces and includes these lines:
"Howe'er, this is a dream of a thousand years, Koryo Celadon/
Hue, oh the hue, casting a shadow in secrecy, the laudable hue"
Great to see how the inlay is actually done; what an art!
I am potter myself sometimes working with stoneware sometimes with porcelain. What is happening after the firing with the selection of good and bad pieces is heartbreaking. What a dedication to a perfectionism. The time spent with every piece, there are days and days of time in it. You are actually not throwing away only the pottery piece you are throwing away a bit of your lifetime, the energy and love you have given the piece. They firing decides what is good or not.... I am not sure this is a good way.
that is what makes it special.
Fantastic insight into the mysterious magical most beautiful green glaze! Tqvm Hope his sons make him proud
As far as I remember, his sons are, 25 years after his death.
I think I died a little on the inside when he shattered those imperfect ones
fantastic documentary
congratulations

Yu Geun-Hyeong 유근형 (April 5, 1894 - January 20, 1993) was a Korean ceramist who specialized in Goryeo celadon ware.
This film was made in 1979.
It seems such a waste of beautiful work to break it...even if I do understand their thinking. I wold be very happy to won one of those "rejects".
Also love this an i am from the caribbeen in 2022 did pottey as a child.
Hello! Wonderful video. Would I be able to get permission to use some of it in a short film?
Jen Kim no
I own the vase at 3:34. amazing to see it in this video. How do I find a value for it?
👍👍👍👍
Korean celadon is my most favorite Korean atrtwork, but I don't like it as much as the Chinese celadon. However, Korean celadon wins me over the Japanese celadon as I find Japanese celadon to be extremely bland (color-wise and shape-wise).
No wait give me the defects... I WILL PAY FOR IT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOoo *Crack*
+You I used to do that to work I wasn't satisfied with. Then I had a chat with Kanzaki Shiho, and we discussed the beauty of imperfection. He taught me that mistakes can be beautiful too. This from a man who sells tiny cups for 22 grand.
Sakyamuni, the beginning of Buddhism, accidentally took to the streets and had to fight a martial art battle to marry a woman he liked, which was done by the witch's magic, and after marriage, he found out that his wife was a ghost and fled to fight the witch in the wilderness !!
Are thankful see porselain beautiful ❤😍ok 🌏.
Incredible artistry and talent, but something just strikes me as wrong when he has them break all sorts of vases that human beings could enjoy simply because they don't meet a particular quality standard. Of course it is his right to ensure a high quality of his masterpiece work, but why not simply mark some of them as defective in some way and allow others to enjoy them without weakening his mark or brand? It would also be good to figure out ways to use technological advances to simplify the production process so as to make it less precarious!
c'est la d'on
and what are they making now.............
cell phones
Pottery ;-) Corporations make defect cellphones out of trash and sell them. Potters make art ;-)

I just found an authentic crane and cloud patterned celadon meiping vase at a thrift store for $3. I was so excited because I knew what it was and nabbed it.

Celadon when the light hits the piece it glimmers like jade! I am fortunate to own one piece which I cherish and preserve under glass.
enchanting from beginning to end
This film is histroy it self how many people in thgir own country know about this
What a wonderful video.Thank you.
Iron oxide in the glaze is what give it the green color, not plants and leaves. Plants and leaves would burn up in the kiln, so the color wouldn't be preserved anyway. Iron oxide is the same element that gives glass a greenish tinge.
It's the ratio of the minerals included in the glaze that determines the final color, with amounts of less than 1 percent making the difference between beautiful and poor colors.
Wow....that's real master
