Mt. Kumgang-patterned Writing Materials
Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- Mt. Kumgang-patterned writing materials are on display at the Korean Central History Museum and the Korean Folklore Museum.

From the 18th century, many artistic handicrafts patterned with scenic spots have been created in Korea.

Typical of them are a container for inkstone water, brush stand and brush-cleaning vase patterned with Mt. Kumgang.

The white porcelains are decorated with a green mountain and crimson peaks. White porcelain is a typical ceramic of the Ri Dynasty.

The writing materials show the excellent artistic skill of ceramists in the dynasty.
