Korean Buncheong Jogakbo Wall Hanging Art, 2 Shapes
Meet the Korean Buncheong Jogakbo Wall Hanging Art, available in 2 shapes and handcrafted by ceramist Seungki Min in Icheon, South Korea. The wall hanging art is inspired by Korean Jogakbo, a traditional Korean patchwork textile made by stitching together small pieces of leftover fabric, often silk, ramie, or cotton. Originally created in the Joseon Dynasty, jogakbo were used as wrapping cloths (bojagi) for gifts, household items, or ceremonial objects. Their beauty lies in their quiet geometry—hand-sewn seams forming abstract compositions that feel both humble and modern.
Icheon ceramics have a history spanning at least a thousand years, evolving from supplying the Joseon Dynasty's royal palaces to forming a "ceramic village" that has naturally drawn potters from all over the country.
Due to the handmade nature, each piece will differ slightly in terms of the shape, texture, color and glazing effect.

About Seungki Min: Seungki Min is a contemporary Korean ceramic artist known for his refined wheel-thrown pottery that draws deeply from Korea’s celebrated ceramic traditions, especially Buncheong and moon jar forms while also adapting them for a modern audience.
Min's ceramics sit at an interesting intersection: they honor historical Korean clay traditions, yet don't replicate them slavishly. By experimenting with colored slip, layered glazes and minimal form, Min pushes the material language of Buncheong and Celadon into new territory. His pieces speak to both past and present: humble, meditative, and thoughtfully expressive.
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.
