Hanji bookbinding is a traditional Korean method that uses handmade paper called Hanji, made from mulberry tree fibers. The process involves folding or sewing sheets of Hanji together, often with intricate stitching and reinforcing techniques, to create durable and flexible books. This craftsmanship emphasizes meticulous attention to detail, blending aesthetic beauty with functional durability. Hanji books are valued for their longevity and unique texture, reflecting Korea’s rich cultural heritage in paper making and bookbinding traditions.
