HA 362/562 CERAMIC ARTS of KOREA – PLACENTA JARS, POTTERY WARS and TEA CULTURE Maya Stiller University of Kansas
HA 362/562 CERAMIC ARTS OF KOREA – PLACENTA JARS, POTTERY WARS AND TEA CULTURE Maya Stiller University of Kansas COURSE DESCRIPTION From ancient to modern times, people living on the Korean peninsula have used ceramics as utensils for storage and cooking, as well as for protection, decoration, and ritual performances. In this class, students will examine how the availability of appropriate materials, knowledge of production/firing technologies, consumer needs and intercultural relations affected the production of different types of ceramics such as Koryŏ celadon, Punch’ŏng stoneware, ceramics for the Japanese tea ceremony, blue-and-white porcelain, and Onggi ware (a specific type of earthenware made for the storage of Kimch’i and soybean paste). The class has two principal goals. The first is to develop visual analysis skills and critical vocabulary to discuss the material, style, and decoration techniques of Korean ceramics. By studying and comparing different types of ceramics, students will discover that ceramic traditions are an integral part of any society’s culture, and are closely connected with other types of cultural products such as painting, sculpture, lacquer, and metalware. Via an analysis of production methods, students will realize that the creation of a perfect ceramic piece requires the fruitful collaboration of dozens of artisans and extreme attention to detail. The second goal is to apply theoretical frameworks from art history, cultural studies, anthropology, history, and sociology to the analysis of Korean ceramic traditions to develop a deeper, intercultural understanding of their production. Drawing from theoretical works on issues such as the distinction between art and handicraft (Immanuel Kant), social capital (Pierre Bourdieu), “influence” (Michael Baxandall) and James Clifford’s “art-culture system,” students will not only discuss the function of ceramics in mundane and religious space but also explore aspects such as patronage, gender, collecting, and connoisseurship within and outside Korea. -
A Study on the Symbolic Meanings of Jars
상징과모래놀이치료, 제10권 제1호 Journal of Symbols & Sandplay Therapy 2019, 6, Vol. 10, No. 1, 129-151. A Study on the Symbolic Meanings of Jars Seo, Seung Hee* <Abstract> This study intends to investigate the characteristics of the jar and examine their symbolism in literature and further the symbolic meanings of the jars, which clients of various developmental tasks used during sandplay therapy. For middle-aged clients who had to go through an individuation process, the jar signified motherhood and femininity that bring a new change to an insecure relationship with the mother; or the waiting place where women spend long hours of patience and silence until their distress and torment are ripened and transformed. For adolescent student with the developmental task of reaching a rite of passage, the jar acts as a place for death and regeneration where independence from the mother is led to the growth of the ego. The jar represents new expectancy and hope. The jar serves as motherhood who embraces clients who were brought up by negative parents, and also as a vessel of the ego to encourage femininity to go on a journey for beautiful growth. This study is significant in identifying the various symbolic meanings of the jar.

THE BUDDHA TRIUMPHING OVER MARA (B60S598) (L) NARRATOR: This 10th-century stone sculpture features an image of the Buddha rendered in exquisite detail. The array of heart-shaped leaves and branches at the top of the object represents the Bodhi Tree, under which the Buddha-to-be sits in meditation on the threshold of enlightenment. The sculptor imbued this Buddha-image with both humanity—using details like the softly rounded belly— and spirituality. There are many signs pointing to the Buddha-to-be’s special qualities. Curator Forrest McGill. FORREST MCGILL: He has a lump on the top of his head, and that symbolizes his extra insight. And then on the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet, he has special symbols, and both are marks of a special kind of a being who’s more advanced, more powerful, than a regular human being. -

Korean Traditional Earthenware Jars for Storing Food
KOREAN TRADITIONAL EARTHENWARE JARS FOR STORING FOOD PROMOTED AT EXPO 2015 The Korea Pavilion at Expo Milan 2015 showcases the culinary practices of Korea founded on its indigenous traditions, highlighting their benefits and sustainable properties. Hansik, Food for the Future: You are What You Eat is the motto of the Pavilion. Under this framework, the earthenware jar onggi, an ancient container traditionally used by the Korean people for storing and fermenting food has been promoted as a technology rooted in the past and continues to produce healthy food. Earthenware jars are natural deposits for Korean food. Moreover, it consents to create a fermentation process which increases both taste and nutrition of food, following the rhythms of the nature and using micro-organisms present in the nature. Onggis, jars for the storing and fermenting food make an essential part of the daily life of the ancient Korean people. The most commonly used seasonings of the traditional Korean cuisine hansik, like the soy sauce and the soy paste mixed with chilli are both fermented in onggi jars to obtain the best flavour. The same treatment is applied also to the famous Korean kimchi and fermented liquors. One of the most critical characteristics of the onggi is that it is a vessel that breathes. The clay, which is the main ingredient of the jar, contains an enormous quantity of sand particles which form air chambers during the mixture act as passages for air. The porosity and the pinholes formed in the structure allow the jar to breath, which makes it not only an amazing tool for food storage, but also a fermenting container thanks to the air circulation that allow the internal substances to reach maturity. -

Rediscovering Korea's onggi Potters by Robert Sayers In 1895, colorful, opinionated Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, world traveler, descended the Lower Han River southeast of Korea's capital to a remote potters' village - a place she later describes in her journal account, Korea and Her Neighbours ( 1905 ): At the village ofTomak-na-dal~ where we tied up, they make the great purple-black jars andpots which are in universal use.

A Bit About Onggi
TheEco- AN INTERNATIONAL Gastronomy KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE project INITIATIVE ABOUT FOOD South Korea Seoul & FOOD SYSTEMS / / A bit about Onggi I love fermentation. I love the way fermented foods taste and the smells that they produce—in kitchens, workshops, and bodies. I love how fermentation both stabilizes and dynamizes food, and that it is both historically and contemporarily relevant. I love that in theorizing about fermentation, we can bring together bacteria with politics, life with death, material agency with food poetics, macro-environments with microbiomes, and non-humanness with humanity. Because I love fermentation, I was not surprised to love Korea and all the food she so lovingly offered up during the week that I spent in and around Seoul. (I was there to present my first public talk on Eco- Gastronomy, informally kicking off this new project for UNISG.) But because of the ways that living among so many ferments caused me to look inwards—at my artistic and professional pasts, at my sense of self, and at the way my own body feels and smells and changes during travel away from home—I came to love fermentation even more. As just one example of my renewed sensibility towards fermentation, I offer this little snapshot of a central feature of its practice in Korea: the onggi. Onggi are the ceramic jars—ranging from a couple of liters in volume to a hundred or so—in which food is traditionally fermented in Korea. The word literally means “breathing clay”, and because of the way these containers allow air to move through them, they are ideal for making kimchi, banchan, jang (soy pastes and sauces), and the myriad other marvels of Korean condimentia. -

Korean Aesthetic Consciousness Reflected in the Ceramic Art Of
JTLA (Journal of the Faculty of Letters, The University of Tokyo, Aesthetics), Vol.42/43 (2017/18) 47 .RUHDQ$HVWKHWLF&RQVFLRXVQHVV5HÀHFWHGLQWKH&HUDPLF$UWRI-RVHRQ 1 Na-Kyung S 1. Introduction Using the formal features of ceramics in the Joseon Dynasty, this paper examines Korean aesthetic consciousness and sensibility, especially as expressed in white porcelain, showing how this aesthetic consciousness was related to ruling-class ideology. Ethnic art expresses the culture of a certain group. A sensibility can be expressed within the culture of a country in many forms. Various art forms express the aesthetic ideals of Korea, such as salpuri (a traditional dance style), talchum (a mask dance), genre paintings of the late Joseon Dynasty, hanbok (traditional clothes), and gardens. The pottery of the Joseon period should not be overlooked in this connection. $FFRUGLQJWR*UHJRU\+HQGHUVRQ ± ZKREHFDPHDFROOHFWRURI.RUHDQFHUDPLFV while working at the US Embassy in Seoul, Koreans, in citing their own accomplishments, point rather to their national phonetic script, Hangeul, to their probably pre-Gutenberg use, of movable type in printing, or to their tortoise ship.
