Under his influence, U Chol Ryong and U Pok Dan, his son and daughter, trained the main methods of creating Koryo celadon and technology with their joint wisdom at the working place and home.
Keeping the principle of continuity in creating Koryo celadon they further refined the creating methods in keeping with modern tastes and contributed to further developing our ceramic art.
Their Koryo celadon pieces were awarded the highest prizes at porcelain fairs held in other countries.
U Chi Son passed away but his intention to glorify the tradition of our nation has been handed over down to his grandchildren.
They are U Yong Jin and U Yong Ho who graduated from Pyongyang University of Fine Arts and became creators of Koryo celadon just like their grandfather and father.
With the honor and pride of being members of the ceramic family and with the soul of patriotism, they are devoting their wisdom and enthusiasm to creating Koryo celadon with their father. -0-
