    Korea has beautiful pottery culture. I wish more people knew how beautiful Korean culture is since its ancient dynasties like Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Most people think Korea was poor, but that is not true. Its history is 5000 years old and had very rich culture. It was famous for its golden jewelry, delicate silk, exquisite potteries., etc.

    I had a friend of mine associate pottery with Japan because of the western glorification of Japan through popularization of some of their food and entertainment (In short my friend is a weeb XD) When I told them that Japan did not have ceramics till the 1600 (or late 1500) and learned from korea and china after the invasion they were very surprised. I showed them old movies depicting pre-edo era Japan where they were using mostly wooden bowls and metal pots. It's interesting that sometimes exposure to only one type of culture can make people associate things from that area to that specific culture.
