The uniqueness of Korean ceramics stems from the austere humility of the earthenware, the jade-green color of Goryeo celadon, the wit of Joseon buncheong ware and the refined beauty of Joseon white porcelain. This book consists of seven chapters. Chapter I introduces the elementary concepts of ceramics and ceramics making, and chapters II to VI trace the history of ceramics from the Neolithic Age to the Joseon period. The author has attempted to showcase ceramics pieces that have undergone academic verification, and delved into the excavation of kiln sites and historical records of ceramics from the Goryeo to the Joseon periods in an attempt to provide background information and convey the full picture of Korean ceramics. Chapter VII deals with the history of the term onggi, which encompasses Korea’s renowned food culture of fermentation and long-term storage.

This is the third work from acclaimed photographer Oh Sang-jo, who has dedicated his life to preserving Korean culture through his unique style of photography. Particularly passionate about preserving Koreas disappearing cultural history, Oh Sang-jo published this book only after the culmination of exhaustive research and trips to the field. Many of the photographs are of historical subjects no longer in existence, thus adding to this work a significant historical value. The trees captured in this book represent without exception a Korean epic. They tell specific stories from within a long history about how the trees and people lived together; stories that represent both the histories of single villages and of the trials and tribulations of Koreas yesteryear. THE DANGSAN TREE is a nostalgic throwback to the days when things were not so complex and hurried, and lifes essence and mysteries more appreciated.

Donn Draeger was one of the most famous and well-respected martial artists of the twentieth century, and he was a pioneer in bringing Asian martial arts study to the West. Here, he illuminates the compelling historical, political, and philosophical events that gave rise to the development of the budo arts. The classical budo, or "martial ways" are not combat systems like their forerunner, bujutsu, or "martial arts"; nor are they sports like modern judo, kendo, or karate. They are first and foremost spiritual disciplines, whose ultimate goal, achieved through the most rigorous mental and physical training, is self-realization in the tradition of Zen Buddhism. The author details the history, philosophy, and methods of a variety of these "martial ways," some using weapons and some weaponless, and reveals how they evolved from their combative roots. The book includes fascinating artwork from classical sources, and archival photographs of modern budo masters in action.
