What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Show the relationship of the development of crafts in specific countries in East Asia according to functionality, traditional specialized expertise, and availability of resources (for example pottery, weaving, jewelry, and basketry). (A8PR-IIf-3)
Crafts of China, Japan, and Korea
The module starts from one idea: China, Korea, and Japan have long been linked by a common written language, shared cultures and traditions, political ties, and the acceptance of Buddhism. Their crafts grew from these shared roots, but each country developed its own style.
China (Gōngyì)
- Clothing: Traditional Chinese clothes are straight-cut and loose. Women’s clothes had more ornaments and styles than men’s. The emperor’s clothes were among the most expensive because they were decorated with precious stones.
- Colors and patterns: Red stands for luck and happiness; white was worn at funerals. Clothes were decorated with birds, animals, dragons, plants, and flowers through embroidery and fabric painting.
- Fabrics: Cotton, satin, hemp, and silk. Silk was a luxury fabric and an early diplomatic gift. China has woven silk since about 3500 BCE.
- Types of clothing:
- Hanfu: the oldest traditional costume, from the Han Dynasty, worn in three layers.
- Zhongshan or Mao suit: a mix of Western and Chinese styles. Its four pockets, five big buttons, three sleeve buttons, and closed collar together symbolize the unity of China.
- Tangzhuang or Tang suit: a jacket often patterned with the characters for happiness and longevity.
- Cheongsam or Qipao: a one-piece Qing Dynasty garment from shoulders to heels.
- Jewelry: Made of jade, silver, gold, clay, stones, and coins. Jade was the most admired; white jade is the rarest. Designs carry meanings: the dragon for power and good luck (worn by the emperor), the phoenix for good fortune (worn by the empress), the catfish for a happy marriage, and the goldfish for abundance. The yaopei is an ornament worn on the waist.
- Pottery: Chinese pottery is also called porcelain or china, because the finest clay for pots is mostly found in China. Ceramics are grouped as high-fired or low-fired.
Japan (Kōgei)
- Kimono: The national dress of Japan. The name comes from “ki” (to wear) and “mono” (thing), meaning “thing to wear.” It is a T-shaped, wrapped-front garment worn with a belt. Its fabrics are gofuku (silk) and cotton or hemp futomono for everyday use.
- Seasonal designs: butterflies or cherry blossoms in spring, watery designs in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and bamboo, pine, and plum blossoms (the “three friends of winter”) in winter.
- Kanzashi: hair ornaments made of metal or cloth shaped into flowers, believed to ward off evil spirits.
- Pottery: one of Japan’s oldest crafts, dating back to the Jōmon period, and closely tied to the tea ceremony.
Korea (Gong-ye)
- Hanbok: traditional Korean clothing with vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Women wear the bell-shaped skirt chima with the jacket jeogori; men wear loose pants called baji.
- Patterns and colors: a dragon for the emperor, a phoenix for the queen, floral patterns for princesses, and clouds and cranes for high court officials. White, the most common color, stands for purity. Red, yellow, blue, black, and white stand for the five elements: fire, earth, water, metal, and wood.
- Ornaments: the norigae (a pendant tied to a coat string or skirt waist), the binyeo (a hairpin whose tip showed social status and proof of marriage), and the daenggi (a ribbon for braided hair).
- Pottery: Korean earthenware dates to around 8000 BC. Influenced by China, it developed its own shapes, such as the moon jar and the maebyeong vase, with plant, flower, Buddhist, and Confucian designs. Korean styles later influenced Japanese pottery.

Pottery

Influenced by Chinese ceramics, Korean pottery developed a distinct style of its own, with its own shapes, such as the moon jar or “maebyeong” version of the Chinese “meiping” vase and later styles of painted decoration. The decoration typically employs plants, flowers and wildlife and reflects the country’s religious heritage with Buddhist motifs and minimalist Confucian designs taking precedence. Korean ceramic styles had an influence on Japanese pottery and porcelain.
