The Portland Art Museum has one room dedicated to the display of Korean art.
According to the display:
“During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, dragons were very popular designs for Koren porcelains among scholars and wealthy merchants. Large jars such as this one were used to store tea leaves, dry grains, or pickled vegetables.”
According to the display:
“Korea adopted the Chinese language and writing system for formal purposes, such as religious and official documents, as early as the third century. Literary Chinese remained the principal language of the Korea’s male scholarly elite well into the twentieth century.”
