About Hunseong Jang: Hun Seong Jang is based in Icheon, South Korea where he owns his own ceramic studio. He studied Korean and Japanese ceramics for many years in search of Korean-ness. He specializes in making Korean buncheong ware.
About Buncheong ware: Buncheong ceramics emerged in Korea at the end of the 14th century from the tradition of inlaid celadon of the late Goryeo period (918-1392). In contrast to the refined elegance of Goryeo celadon, buncheong feels unassuming, natural and even rustic. However, in the 16th century, due to the Imjin war, Korean potters were taken to Japan, where they started to influence Japanese ceramics especially for use in Japanese tea ceremonies. In Japan, Buncheong came to be known as Kohiki and Mishima depending on the technique.
