Oegosan Onggi Village외고산 옹기마을

At a glance

Onggi are traditional Korean earthenware jars, and Ulju County makes more than half of the country's supply. Oegosan began as a potters' settlement in 1957, and by the 1960s and '70s some 350 craftsmen had gathered here, shipping jars across Korea and abroad. About 40 of the village's 128 households still work in the trade. The Onggi Museum displays a jar listed by Guinness as the world's largest, and the village also has an onggi academy, a fermentation academy and the Ulju Folk Museum.
