Cheongsong Onggijang, Gyeongsangbuk-do Intangible Cultural Property No. 25-1 +

Classification Intangible Cultural Property / Traditional Technology / Craft
Designated date 1997.3.17
location Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do
☆Cheongsong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, has produced a lot of high-quality five-color clay since the Joseon Dynasty. Using such good materials, many Onggi stores in the Cheongsong area have been able to produce a large quantity of high-quality onggi. In Songgang-ri, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong-gun, Bugok-ri, Jinbo-myeon, and Nojae, Andeok-myeon, many Onggi were produced, and their onggi was distributed nationwide as well as in the neighboring areas.

However, as the use of plastic, glass and stainless steel containers increased due to changes in the living environment since the 1970s, the demand for onggi gradually decreased. Also, with the mass production of onggi in modernized onggi factories equipped with facilities such as electromagnetism, traditional onggi stores have gradually been pushed out of the competition.

Under these circumstances, the traditional Onggi stores in the Cheongsong area are almost gone, and the Onggi Workshop run by the Lee Moo-nam family in Jinan-ri, Jinbo-myeon is the only one that continues the tradition of Cheongsong Onggi. Yi Mu-nam, who was designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Intangible Cultural Property No. 25 in 1997, has been producing Onggi in a traditional manner for five generations from his great-grandfather to his son's generation.
