Welcome to the World of Korean Paper Craft
- Traditional Paper Crafts from Korea
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.
We continue such passion to bring you the most exquisite
paper containers and lanterns, whose frames are also
made from paper. We appreciate your interest in Korean
paper craft and please enjoy.
