Underglaze Iron, Korean Celadon. Some of the most breath taking work of art. 16th C. Joseon period.

Insadong is great. Did you see the teashop with the 10 puerh cakes behind a frame and glass? I think that thing alone is worth like $50,000 USD given the kinds of tea in it.
I think that is run by a Tawinese business man. Korean are the up-and-coming puerh collectors now... I was looking for buncheong pottery mainly.
Yeah, they are definitely interested in puerh these days. Slimming, so all those Korean housewives love it.
Seriously, there's a business to be made there :)
