Something More Tangible Than Technique, Something More Timeless Than Age -Focused on the motivation behind technique in ceramics history-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The most impressive and timeless examples of ceramic history are not merely awe-inspiring because of their age, or the technique used. In my article I attempt to reveal the deeper agendas of the people who crafted their art so many years ago, and what motives they had at that time, which could produce pieces of lasting merit. What were they thinking? What were their political affinities? How did they live? In contemplation of this, how can we still learn from them and improve and imbue our own works with the timelessness that they have been so successful in doing? It is indeed something more than simply technique or age that makes ceramic art moving.
