my celadon

The secret hobby of Joo Jae-yoon, an ordinary man living in Gangneung.

Joo Jae-yoon, a man living in Gangneung, is neither a history major nor an art major, but a herbalist. He was immersed only in pleasure and devoted himself to collecting Goryeo celadon for decades. My childhood dream was once an archaeologist, but now I find relationships with people connected by objects (works) rather than discovering celadon. Throughout the country, he meets collectors and enthusiasts like himself, including professional scholars of Goryeo celadon.
I believe that healing a person's body and feeling pleasure in falling into something are in line, and I cherish the new relationships that the listener has connected and I am busy moving somewhere today. Sometimes you meet someone promised at the end of the road, meet things, and unexpected coincidences occur. This documentary is a journey of collection and love with ordinary collector Joo Jae-yoon's celadon, and the story of a celadon who survived with the world of antique art and the vitality of more than a thousand years that we did not know.

A Goryeo celadon that I accidentally received as a gift from a patient was a small start. The Goryeo celadon was not even approached in the first place because it was something that the chairmen of chaebol families could have or a treasure (national treasure) that should be displayed in museums. However, when I received Goryeo celadon, I became interested. I wandered around, snooped around, fell for fake goods, and fell for people. Still, it didn't stop. It was also fun to go around alone. I went back and forth between Gangneung, Seoul, Buan, and Gangjin, including museums, exhibitions, Insa-dong, and Dongdaemun, thinking that I should study not to be deceived anymore. Then one day, I accidentally got a picture album at an antique shopping mall. Although it was not a colorful and famous painting album of Samwon Samjae, it was elegant, elegant, and simple. Above all, they were very familiar paintings for himself, who followed Goryeo celadon. I learned that the paintings were similar to the patterns of Goryeo celadon. Goryeo celadon is a work that deeply imbued with the ideas of Buddhism, which was the state religion of Goryeo at the time, so it contains a Buddhist and Taoist worldview.
If you search through the album all night, interesting stories bloom even if you stand up at night with imagination that crosses time and space. Who painted the picture in the album? Did he want this album to reach someone?
I can't answer the question, but I got a picture book and looked at it whenever I had time. On a dim night when the moonlight filled everywhere, not electricity, the wind was perfect. And I started dreaming while looking at the picture in the album. Dreaming of finding a friend who is waiting for him from afar.

Along with the nightly night trip of the painting album, there will be meetings with Odaesan Mountain Bukdae Mireukam, Buan and Gangjin where the breath and soul of celadon are asleep, Osaka and Beijing, respectful seniors as collectors, and people who love ancient art and share joy.
