How a Master Potter Makes Giant Kimchi Pots Using the Traditional Method - Handmade
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2021
- Jin-Gyu learned the ancient art of onggi pot-making from his parents. Today, he is the youngest of about 20 people left in Korea who are certified to properly recreate traditional Korean onggi, a process which requires intense physical labor and adherence to traditional guidelines. The pots are used to hold kimchi, soy bean paste, red pepper paste, and other foods that require air to ferment, which the clay - made from Korean rain water, plants, and mountain soil - provides.

As he whispered "it's done" it felt like he was speaking to the jar itself. It wasn't for the camera, that was an artist communicating happiness with his creation.
@I can't be defined by race, ethnicity, nationality dang, your sandwiches must be really good😳
This is real. He is so excited, and he is willing to express how exhausting it is. Life is never 100% good or bad. This is his lesson that needs to be passed on from generation to generation.
ROMÂNIA /🤩🙌👑🙌😌
I wonder if he would consider teaching a mastercourse in traditional onggi. If he can't find someone locally to pass it onto, this is a valuable technique and people would pay big bucks to learn.

When he brought out the pot and exclaimed “Wow! He turned out great!” To the point that the audio distorted, you can really feel the pure joy he felt after seeing his pot come to life! It’s just so heartwarming 💗
"There is no one younger than me, that's make me sad" : Intangible cultural asset
You can ask potters from India
@@shivikasharma1447 in the states here, lots of people take pottery classes in college and high school but not many look at it as anything more than an art class and not as a practical skill. I do.
Makes me sad that there's no one younger trying to do this traditionally. It's such a lovely thing and it's not going to last much longer if no one else takes up the mantle.
Your name tho !!!
I like how he says "We're borrowing it from nature" and "It will return to the ground after 300 years"
Beautiful metaphors.

And I'm from welsh valleys my grandfathers and father and uncles were all miners my grandad WILLIAM JOHN SEYMOUR USED TO TAKE MUD FROM RIVER BANKS WHICH HAD ALOT OF CLAY AND HIS HOBBY WAS MAKING POTS.

I'm a Swedish potter. Korean ceramics in general and onggi in particular has had the most influense on me throughout my career. Keep up the great work, your tradition is the finest in the world in my opinion!
Over Japanese ceramics even?
@@AA-zv6yo Yes, for sure. The Korean way is very harmonic and unforced, simple, honest and powerful. Often in japanese (not all) I feel a struggle to be creative or to impress the viewer and it can feel a bit forced. Thats my opinion anyway🙂
@@zanmatoshin877 interesting i feel the opposite. Very natural, raw and unforced from japan.
Historical Fact: Japanese were so impressed by Korean pottery skills, they invaded and kidnapped korean potters to influence Japanese pottery culture. Korean ceramic culture was well in advance even before Japanese knew anything about pottery. Of course, Japanese volcanic soil didn't help to achieve the uniqueness of Korean soil either.
@@LoveLife-tw4ub yeah, that's amazing. There was also a long period in korea where making decorative and beutiful things was forbidden by law. I believe that is where the simplicity started, ppl cant help making beutiful things though🙂
Get yourself a partner who looks at you like Jin-Gyu looks at his finished onggi

Be worthy such that your partner looks at you like Jin-Gyu looks at his finished onggi.

Yeah, it's lost in the translation, but when he pulls it out of the kiln, the word he uses to call it is not usually used for things but for children.
He was very emotional when he said that "After 300 years, onggi will return back to the soil"
He's the youngest? That's really damn heart breaking honestly.
I don't think it's really sad since there is no longer much use for it.
@@Youngnrrwhtjwtjetk How can you say that lol
it's part of the culture, it's part of the heritage. Losing it will always be tragic.
Also there is constant need for handcrafted jars like that. Traditional Korean food is all about storage and Onggi does a perfect job of allowing the food to ferment and not rot. Fermenting is just controlled rotting, and Onggi allows that control.
You can't make Onggi from a mass produced factory lines. It's always handcrafted.
@@L_ky We have refrigerators now. It's not dad to me because of Koreans cared about it that much, they would still use it. In order for it to be preserved, the government just needs to have him write his techniques down. it's not hard. And yes, fermentation is possible in a factory. It's much safer too.
@@Youngnrrwhtjwtjetk technological advancements should not be a justification of abandonment of heritage.
@@L_ky - it’s hard because the government has to incentivize making the culture either lucrative to stay in or subsidize it so that people want to continue the process. They should market these items as luxury goods and then maybe the bourgeoisie will want to buy them.
Problem with a lot of Korean people is that they reject their own culture for Western goods. It’s all about brand names of European and American goods (that are made in China lol) and not of Korean made products.
I don’t know if it’s a a lack of pride or just trying to pretend to be old money European. Either way, I’ve often found it to be extremely shallow and annoying. But I’m American-born so I have a different perspective on the matter than most native Koreans.
Hopefully I can buy one or more of the traditional pots. I plan on having a personal garden and I want to make my own kimchi and store it the traditional way. I will have to see how viable it is in wet conditions.
Here’s to supporting traditional methods! 🥂🇰🇷
"After 300 years, it'll return back to the soil." Beautiful. We are all dust, and shall return to dust again.

very profound and true words
There is no wasted movement in what he does. Every motion he makes is deliberate and exact. You can just tell because he doesn't take time to look over each process to check if it's good, he KNOWS it's good. He is truly a master of his craft.
I wouldn't have the energy for wasted movement after all that.
Definitely fulfills my Ayrton Senna rule.
@@hoilst what do you mean?
@@BRG13DEAN I know nothing about F1 racing. Yet I watched some Ayrton Senna vids a few years ago, and despite knowing nothing about F1, I could tell he was a master.
My Ayrton Senna Rule is that if a layperson can tell someone is incredibly good at what they do, then that someone is a master of their craft.
@@hoilst that makes perfect sense.
Im tempted to drop everything and become his apprentice. I would be so sad if the art died because he loves it so
so do i. im not even korean but his passion for his work makes me want to become his apprentice
The fact he's obviously so passionate.. I wanna go learn his craft 😩
Me too, but we know we would spend at least three months sieving water to find the clay glaze and nine making our own Korean pine tools. It might be a year before we went near the potters wheel and every day after that we would be whalloping clay with mallet and foot...It is beautiful but it can not be easy.
@@johnmcdonough955 I guess that's why it's so hard to keep this craftmanship alive...
@@KeaveMind in an economic world, where success incorporates obtaining beauty at minimum and where having a single income stream is no longer viable and given teaching takes twice as long as doing yourself and teaching well three times the effort; for craftsmen the ability to make a living through mastership of one craft is dwindling.
I saw a program about a japanese sushi chef in New Zealand who works a four day week. He must work flat out in those four. More power to him! He is the exemption. The days when one man builders and plumbers could take a day off a week and still keep moving forward are gone. So: Information Technology, typing (and on one's phone on the move), real estate sales and rent, Surveyors esp. Chartered, Medicine (but not every division), Law, Enigineering both design and application and Dentistry. Even airline pilots are being laid off!
It's wild seeing how labor-intensive this process is. I mean, I should have figured, but it's still wild to see. I feel like a lot of us in the world are completely divorced from the reality of how things are made. It's very eye-opening to be reacquainted with labor like this.
cant he just 3d print this pot...I mean really...LOL
Fantastic Comment....So True.
@@xpez9694 uh no, like he said the stomata inside the pot are what makes it special.
@@jjroseknows777 you off your meds?
@@xpez9694 since kimchi need fermentation, i guess the one that make it special is the material in the pot that actually affect fermentation process. It's like how some brewery prefer oak barrel for its aging process.
Oh my gosh, I'm almost in tears. I lived in Korea for 7 years for my career and fell in love with the culture and history. One of my closest friends was studying to be a artist of traditional pottery. The work he did was amazing, mostly smaller bottles and cups for drinking SoJu. He shared a similar pride and reverence for protecting the history. I am so happy to see such a wonderful video paying homage to such an important art form and history. Thank you to the producers and artist for sharing this amazing story.
Perhaps you are in a position to share this with your friend, and he in turn share with younger aspiring craftspeople? This mastery should not be lost to history.
"This clay has exactly 30% moisture. You can feel it in the soles of your feet." That's mastery.

@@edgecomms3375 c'mon bro! Don't leave us hanging!! What are you trying to say?
"There's probably about 30% moisture," is what he actually said.
Still pretty masterful though...
Isnt it funny how artisans and craftsmen seem happy and content, while office workers and business people are freaking stressed out of their minds all the time? I'm so happy that my job allows me to create things it's so much more fulfilling. This guy looks like hes totally happy with his place in life. I think that's an awesome craft.
Amen
As a professional artist of 31 yrs, I disagree...tattooing is stressful & so is dealing with the general public...while I enjoy the process of it, it was still stressful & I couldn't wait to leave every day...the art that brings me happiness is the art I do by myself for my own entertainment...making commercial art stresses me out & I don't like it...fortunately I retired last year, so I don't have to do any art other than what I want to do by myself, ALONE...that art is enjoyable...that being said, probably doesn't help that I suffer from depression...but I'm pretty sure all artists aren't happy...I'm as stressed as any business professional working in a highrise in the big city, but over the course of the last year after I retired, I'm slowly coming out of it...I do many forms of artwork, tattooing was just my bread & butter...but now I can just make art for me...I don't particularly enjoy making art for other people...

I like the acknowledgement of the toll it takes on his body. We see artisans creating wonderful objects that are beautiful and useful, yet the toll on the creator is astronomical.

Living in Korea back in the mid 70s(75-78) i had never seen or even thought about the large jars but i did get one shipped home and still use it today. Wow!, what a really labor intensive art. But art it is most assuredly. I have been making my own kimchee for over 40 years now and i have no clue what it is like to not have it available at my house. Kinda like breathing,...you know you have to breathe,..i know i have to have kimchee in one form or another. I just love it!!
굉장한 철학을 가지신분이다 보기드물게 멋있다
Love it! My grandma always buries this Onggi underground to store Kimchi during winter. It’s sooooo delicious.
does it have a lid? do you make the kimchee in it or just store it there? I really want to start fermenting my own sauerkraut and kimchee and fish and black beans.
It has a lid. You put soy sauce or kimchi directly in it. If it's salted condiments like soy sauce, it says outside. If it's kimchi, you dig ground right before winter, you bury the jar. only the lid stays above the ground level. And enjoy kimchi all throughout winter
@@palipali4264 please go for it, it is a really rewarding hobby. My first batches of soy sauce are approaching the 2 year mark now and my kimchi has gotten the seal of approval from my korean intern and her mom :D

This is Master craftsmanship. It saddens me deeply that craftsmanship of this caliber existed in the world of old and is slowly dying away.
I don't get why everyone thinks it's so sad. It's just a craft.
@@FieryRedDonkeyOfHell You're right, it is just a craft, but there is something special about putting in the work to create something like this by hand, and to many it would be sad if a tradition that has been carried on for hundreds of years were to vanish, never again to be appreciated. Preserving culture is important so that humanity doesn't become homogenous.
@Salty Child Well, i presume it’s like losing a part of what makes your country unique? It’s kind of losing generations of your ancestors’ efforts, knowledge and emotions. Sure, can be considered as inefficient, but many things that we do that are unnecessary hold immense value to what we are and gives a sense of belonging. Culture, especially arts, expresses what we are as people. That’s what I think lol
@@FieryRedDonkeyOfHell Because a particular craft often connected with other crafts, and losing that particular craft will have an impact on the later. Like a cooper, barrel maker and repairer, there's only ONE registered person in all England. Certain wine and beer would taste better if they're stored in wood.
@@machinismus I've been thinking about your reply, and I think I've figured out why I'm so indifferent to the disappearance of this craft, as well as other crafts. It's because I'm biased to the crafts to which I have more exposure. I used to be really into music. If a certain music genre that I enjoyed suddenly disappeared one day, then I'd feel some level of disappointment. The world would have lost a small piece of "goodness," and regardless of how big that piece is, it's undeniable that the world lost something. I guess I was too self-centered to realize that each craft is of equal value and my exposure to that craft has no bearing on its value.
On another note, I do feel like the world is heading toward cultural homogeneity. Oddly enough though, I feel like humankind will still thrive and be happy in such a society, which is why I'm not too worried about it.
This guy is a born teacher. The govt should help him start a school, and pass on this beautiful art! 💜
ok when the dude made homemade glaze, that took this video to the next level. The homemade glaze has a natural look that I don't think you can get from store-bought glaze. When it comes out of the kiln you see it, just totally gorgeous.

Man, I didn't know there's so much physical labor involved in making an onggi. All the other pottery makers I've seen basically sit at the wheel and throw! Respect!
It's the same process for any pottery, its just bigger for these large pots.
Communicates with clay, understands nature/time so profoundly, gots some jokes (8:30). This man is a national treasure for real.
It’s really beautiful to see a man so dedicated to his craft and so committed to preserving its traditional history. His joy at seeing the finished onggi is infectious!

When my father was stationed in South Korea back in the 90s, he told us about driving into Seoul and every house along the road would have 2-3 of these massive pots out along one of the walls. The part about the special glaze was really fascinating.
Haha now Korean use electronic kimchi refrigerator at home..which has similar functions of onggi . . . ( helps to keep the same temperature and prolong freshness etc..) However .. certainly kimchi inside onggi should be more fresh and tasty
That is some of the most amazing pottery I’ve ever seen. The love and dedication he has for the process is truly awe inspiring.
This man is a master. The way in which he speaks about his craft is inspirational. His excitement when that was finished was genuine and amazing.

An amazing art form that requires a skilled artesian with the dedication, appreciation and the abiding desire to perpetuate a centuries old cultural marvel. Hopefully, it will not die out.

Honestly I've never been so moved by the way a man holds a pot before. I shed a tear at the love and pride he has for his work.

I really enjoyed watching this video of a craftsman and artist doing something he loves and does so perfectly. Thanks for explaining everything so well!
That was amazing to hear him speak about his craft with such humility and passion. Awesome!
This is without a doubt TALENT. Crazy man. His Father taught him well.
I love how surprised he is when he takes it out of the kiln as if he expected it to be bad
So beautifully done 💞 I enjoyed the background story from the mountains to the ground 🙌 I pray this tradition continues 🙏❣
I love how interested he is in preserving his craft ♡ shows how passionate he is about what he does ♡
This is fascinating! Such skill, strength & quality - a true craftsman! Can we purchase this mans work? Every man is worthy of his labor!!!!
I admire him not for making cool pots but for never smashing his own foot with thor's hammer.
How do we know he didn’t?
@@Velocitist Because they are shaped normally.
You can really see the love he puts into this work; a real passion. The use of these earth materials must make him really grounded and rooted. It's great how he's carrying on this tradition and love the story of his pregnant mum making Kimchi pots then passing the talent down to him! He's one of a kind, god bless him!
He is an artist and a dedicated skilled hard worker- these are beautiful. I would love to have purchased one of these when I was in Korea.
Man those are beautiful. He puts his heart and soul into each one of those he makes
He made this all very easy to grasp and get into the proper mindset. I love how it makes him happy.
What a incredibly labor intensive process. Watching this masters passion for his craft was inspiring. I hope younger generations take up the craft to keep this tradition alive.
What a beautiful craftsman. So proud of what he is doing. I wish him all the best for the future.
This is the first time that I watched an entire video with a smile in my face! The guy here really showed his art! You can see it from his eyes that hes proud of what he do! Its like telling his life story but about a handmade jar!
Omg! This man is amazing, so talented.I love he is creating Onggi the way it was meant to be created. I would love to have 1 or 2 someday . I want them done in this method . I believe it lends something special when you put each art together to marry for a time. You come out with something even more special you can taste the difference. I think i can make my best kimchi etc if i had these. Thats a dream for me for now as i am raising 4 grandchildren, 2 with special needs so my wallet only has moths in abundance😵😱😄😀😄 . His work is so beautiful i wanted to cry at the end. Thank you for this awesome video!!!
P.s I am also absolutely amazed still by the fact that he made his own tools to fit his hands Perfectly to create his art. Amazing ! There are not many That I know of That do this. We live in an age where things are mass produced and can be gotten quickly . I think you can see in his craft every bit of his love and skill he has put into it, down to his tools. Absolutely Awesome!
I hope eater shares all the wonderful comments with him. I would love to see a follow up with him seeing a lot of encouraging and beautiful comments about his traditional art. To me he is an Onggi Master!
A man truly blessed, who shares his blessing with others, who bless him with their respect, and round and round it goes. Wonderful👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Kudos to him for keeping up the tradition, it's very admirable and he seems to really love what he does
Incredible. Blown away by the pure passion, dedication to his craft and authenticity to the Korean culture. I hope this legacy lives on 🤞🏼🤞🏼
It makes me sad to think there are only 10 like Jin-Gyu today.
I think its really cool how hes like a relic from the past and knows all of the science behind the clay. It makes traditions more real when looked at with a modern understanding 🥺👌👍🏻
Everything about this is wonderful. Proper art, proper dedication, proper standards. Thank you.
