History
The Gangjin Kiln Sites produced a large number of wares.
An artist of the post-war era who specialised in it was Living National Treasure Yu Geun-Hyeong.[3] His work was documented in the short film Koryo Celadon in 1979.[4]
Many celadon pieces from Goryeo are listed as National Treasures of South Korea.
