Korea's Traditional Paper

Historically, Korean paper was celebrated throughout Asia as some of the best available anywhere. Said to have been invented in China, paper making made its way to Korea before the art was transferred to Japan. The paper created from the Korean mulberry tree is known as hanji, and it was said that it could last 1,000 years! You’ll see why when you experience the strength and beauty of hanji!


One of the best places to learn about Korean traditional paper and to make various objects with it is Hanji & People, a workshop located in the popular Insa-dong neighborhood. With craft classes conducted in Chinese, English and Japanese, participants can choose from more than one dozen different easy-to-make projects that take anywhere between one to three hours to complete. For example, you can make a beautiful hand mirror or a picture frame. The more ambitious art student can even endeavor to create a traditional doll!
