Korean Paper Art
Korean Paper Art, known as Hanji, is a traditional craft that utilizes handmade paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree. This paper is valued for its durability, texture, and versatility, making it suitable for various artistic expressions, including painting, calligraphy, and crafts.
Artists often create intricate designs and functional items, such as lamps, boxes, and wall hangings, using Hanji. The techniques involve cutting, folding, and layering the paper, showcasing the beauty of both the material and the craftsmanship. This art form reflects Korea's rich cultural heritage and continues to evolve in contemporary practices.
