hanji
Hanji is a traditional Korean paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is known for its durability, texture, and unique ability to absorb moisture. The production process involves soaking, boiling, and beating the bark to create a fibrous pulp, which is then spread out and dried to form sheets of paper.
This paper has been used for centuries in Korea for various purposes, including writing, painting, and wrapping. Hanji is also valued for its eco-friendly properties, as it is made from natural materials and is biodegradable. Its cultural significance continues to be celebrated in modern art and crafts.
