This English catalog was created for the special exhibition Earth, Fire, and Soul - The Masterpieces of Korean Ceramics held at the Grand Palais of France from April 27 through June 20 of 2016 and at the State Hermitage Museum of Russia from July 29 through November 6 of 2016. The touring exhibition was designed to provide a unique opportunity to extensively explore both old and contemporary Korean porcelain art. This catalog lists many masterpieces carefully selected from the porcelain collections of the National Museum of Korea, a representative museum in Korea, including national treasures and other notable works inspired by Korean artists working in many parts of the world. I wish that this catalog may help you appreciate the artistry and unique beauty of the Korean porcelain culture, which has developed and changed over centuries on the foundation of a cultural heritage of making porcelain with earth and fire.

The National Museum of Korea is proud to present Joseon: The Movable Type Dynasty, an English-language book accompanying the themed exhibition held at the museum in 2016. This is the tenth installment in the English-language exhibition book series published by the National Museum of Korea since 2009 as part of its mission to introduce diverse facets of Korean culture and history to a wider public both within and outside Korea. The Jikji simche yojeol, (Anthology of great Buddhist priests' Zen teachings) is the oldest Korean book known to have been printed using metal movable type. Published in 1377 during the Goryeo dynasty, it precedes the Gutenberg Bible printed with metal movable type in 1455 by nearly eighty years. Many of the movable type pieces so produced during the Joseon dynasty are now held by the National Museum of Korea. The over 820,000 movable type pieces, including one piece from the Goryeo dynasty, in the NMK collection make up only a tiny portion of the millions of movable type pieces cast at one time by the state. "Joseon: The Movable Type Dynasty" is based on the historical research and detailed classification on the movable type of Joseon dynasty. The details of the exhibition are offered in this book along with in-depth information on the production year, name, and features of each version of movable type. The book also explores the background underlying the invention of different movable types, including the versions for Hangeul, the native Korean alphabet.

The concept of linking root words to other words with prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms is hardly new. But showing those links with the help of jigsaw puzzle pieces is innovative. The jigsaw method allows you not only to learn words but also to see the relationships between them, which can make learning faster, understanding simpler, and comprehension easier.
