“I was deeply captivated by the colourful and glossy craftworks.” “The refined and delicate jade works show our people’s high level of craftsmanship.” These are an excerpt from the statements written by the visitors to the display section of the Okryu Souvenir Company during the light-industry goods exhibition held in October.
The company took part in the exhibition with several thousand pieces of handicrafts in over 40 kinds including ceramic works, jade works, paper works and ostrich works. Their high artistic quality and aesthetic value earned the company the group prize of the event.
The company manufactures a wide range of ceramic works and distinctive ornaments.
Jade works are one of its typical products that are made with the natural stone from the Phogo Mine, one of the major jade producers in the DPRK.
The objects made with jade of various colours including white gem, sapphire and topaz are very high in terms of descriptive and artistic value.
Paper works including Cranes on a Pine Tree , Magpie and Magnolia Blossom are as admirable as the jade and ceramic works.
The company is enjoying growing demand for its paper works made by clipping a variety of paper including that covered in gold or silver film.
Its products have won favour at various exhibitions and festivals dealing with fine art souvenirs and light-industry goods as they vividly represent the new life and civilization the Korean people are creating and enjoying.
