Hanji (traditional paper)

Hanji is a traditional Korean paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree through a meticulous process of fermentation and handcrafting. Known for its durability, flexibility, and unique texture, Hanji is often used in calligraphy, painting, lanterns, and conservation art. Its natural fibers give it exceptional strength and longevity, allowing it to withstand the test of time. Hanji’s porous surface also makes it highly absorbent, suitable for ink and pigments. Revered as a cultural heritage, it exemplifies Korea’s artisanal craftsmanship and deep respect for natural materials.
