In the Baekja Museum in Yanggu Country, they said making white porcelain like the Dal Hangari takes about five days. The white porcelains produced here were supplied to the royal families ofthe Joseon era for 500 years. This information came from the head of the Yanggu Musuem. In addition, he also said that owing to the oustanding quality of the materials, Bangsan has been the only village in the country that continued the production of white porcelain. The pure beauty of white porcelain represents not only the unique beauty of simplicity, but also abundance and generosity.
