Korean traditional arts and crafts
Distinct aesthetic value built on 5000 years history
Like many traditional arts and crafts often do, Korean traditional arts and crafts made through master craftsmanship also represent each distinct Korean art culture and more comprehensively Korean culture as a whole. Renowned for its very detailed decoration and delicate procedure, Korean arts and crafts contain the spirits of the Korean people, ranging from moral values to trivial lifestyles which creates unique aspects of a work piece. The uniqueness of Korean traditional arts and crafts is based on the balanced form of efforts to find harmony within nature, subtle and pure colors, humble and transparent decorations. These values distinguish Korean traditional art from Chinese(strong and intense) and Japanese(fancy and decorative).
