Welcome to the World of Korean Paper Craft

Koreans have been making Hanji, in plain and colored forms, for more than 1600 years. Hanji Art became fully developed as an art form during the Choson period of Korean history (1392-1910). For many centuries Korean women have expressed their appreciation of aesthetic beauty and innate creativity through Hanji Art. These extravagantly decorated works of art are lacquered for protection and to ensure their durability. HanJi-handmade Korean paper.

The elegance and strength of traditional mulberry paper Hanji have inspired Korean artisans for years. A fine balance between beauty and function is the essence of Korean paper craft.
