무형문화재 옹기장에 대한 기록화의 심화 필요성과 방안

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the achievements of researched products and to seek methods for more intensified documentation by focusing on onggijang, national intangible cultural property no. 96. Since establishing the Cultural Properties Protection Law in the 1960s, for the first time the technique to make onggi was acknowledged as cultural heritage to preserve traditional craft skills as the research project was performed officially. Various study reports and visual materials were accumulated through the investigation by the Cultural Heritage Administration and its affiliated organizations. However, the entire details were not organized despite all the diversity the production methods of different regions and craftsmen, tools to make and the various names of onggi. Furthermore, onggi is not the regularly used earthenware to use regularly and the national intangible cultural property onggijangs are elderlies. Therefore, it is possible for the art craft to cease to exist. Thus, it is considered for the needs of the more concrete and intensified studies, and projects to document onggijangs based on existing researched achievements. That is, the first task to be done is to document and detail the current onggi types produced in addition to the tools, and facilities that onggijangs currently use. It is not an easy task to standardize information presented because the researchers vary. However, it is necessary to try to share the contents of investigation to consider overall. Most assets acknowledged as intangible properties have existed in the past without proper documentation. Furthermore, most of the traditional craft skills were discontinued since the industrialization, and the credibility of these alleged traditional skills are also. Perhaps it is considered the current state, as it is, could be the closest to the genuine traditional form. Therefore, it is necessary to acknowledge the conversion of thoughts, that the task to seek, and to preserve and to maintain the traditional craft skills is difficult, and to fulfill the documentation of the present state faithfully. It is considered as the most practical method to document the current state as much as possible for posterity instead of trying to catch the past which is difficult to restore. Through intensified documentation, it is expected the results would be applied and used to select the national and local onggijang intangible cultural properties and to support to pass down in the future and to be used as the basic materials of various traditional cultural contents.
