Korean Paper
Korean paper, known as Hanji, is a traditional paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is renowned for its durability, texture, and unique ability to absorb moisture. Hanji has been used for centuries in Korea for various purposes, including writing, painting, and crafting.
The production of Hanji involves a labor-intensive process that includes harvesting, boiling, and beating the bark to create a pulp. This pulp is then spread out and dried in the sun. Hanji is not only valued for its practical uses but also for its cultural significance in Korean art and calligraphy.
