| The Tea Culture Gallery displays tea wares, such as teacups, teapots, and burners, as well as documents and paintings related to tea. There are a variety of rustic earthenware cups dating to the Gaya and Silla period, and Goryeo celadon ware such as tea bowls (dawan), pedestal cups (takjan), and incense burners. The comparatively simple buncheong and white porcelain tea cups of the Joseon period reflect the tea-drinking customs and ceramic art that evolved with time. The Hall also holds the portrait of the Buddhist monk Choui (õ®ëýàÉÞÔ), who restored and formalized the disappearing ritual of tea-drinking in the Joseon dynasty. There are also two of his writings on display: the Dongdasong (ÔÔÒþáë, Praise for Eastern Tea) and Dasinjeon (Òþãêîî, Introduction to Tea).
