Art has been developed, related closely to the periodic and social background, and Koryo Celadon, art of Koryo, also is not exceptional. Especially the lotus flower patterns expressed on Koryo Celadon were popular owing to the social requirement of respect for the Buddhism during Koryo period. The reason why the lotus flower, the representative Buddhism style, came to be celadon patterns was that the main consumers' requirement agreed with the producers' art discrimination because of the politics of respect for the Buddhism during Koryo period. It is said that the origin of the lotus flower patterns was India and then came in Korea through China with influx of the Buddhism. The lotus flower appears in the birth tale of the Buddhism and many Sutras. The lotus flower much related to the Buddhism was diffused through each nation with Buddhism, which was embodied in Buddhism patterns.
