A thousand years' worth of paperHanji refers to paper made in Korea. In other words, it's a species unique to Korea. Boil the bark of the paper mulberry in lye, spread it finely, and dry it to complete the Korean paper, but it does not tear easily because it is tough. Also, when writing calligraphy, the ink spreads smoothly and evenly, and the color does not change after a thousand years. 2. Tough and soft Korean paperKorea's ancestors first learned how to make paper from China, but their skills were better than those of China. Korean paper was also a popular paper in China because it was tough and soft. Hanji is mainly made from the bark of the mulberry tree.The bark of the mulberry tree is longer and tougher than the bark of the tree used to make western-style paper, so it can make strong paper. Lye can be used to boil the bark of the mulberry tree to make it stronger and more durable.Korean paper is tough enough to be washed and reused. While Yangji has a maximum retention period of around 200 years, Hanji can be preserved for more than a thousand years. You can see it by looking at the Mugu Jeonggwangdae Darani Sutra, a paper relic that proves the excellence of Korean paper.Hanji is made by tapping it with a trimming bat, so it is smoother and glossier. That's why it feels soft when you touch Korean paper. Not only was Korean paper used for writing and drawing, but it was also used for various household items. 3. The use of Korean paperKorea's ancestors made and used various living tools using the good points of Korean paper. Since Korean paper keeps the room warm by blocking the wind and cold, I applied Korean paper on the walls of the room as well as on the doors and windows and used it as window paper. At this time, Korean paper played a role in allowing sunlight to permeate subtly and controlling the humidity in the room.Hanji is light and tough, so it was also used to make fans. I made a wonderful fan by attaching Korean paper to the fat of the fan and painting it. I also made household items such as half-clad rings and pencil cases by overlapping Korean paper with many layers of glue. 4. Korean paper is reborn as a craftThese days, it's hard to find hanji around us. It's because they've been pushed out by cheap sunsets that are printed a lot at once at the factory. However, there are still many places where Korean paper is used because Korean paper is of higher quality than sunny places. First of all, Korean paper permeates more food than other paper, so it is used for calligraphy or drawing oriental paintings. And it's also written on New Year's greeting cards, letter papers, and letter envelopes. On holidays, people also use Korean paper to wrap presents.Recently, hanji has also been reborn as a traditional craft. Lampshades that subtly illuminate the lights of light bulbs or paper dolls made of Korean paper are gaining popularity. It's a new Hanji craft made to fit modern life.[Source: Naver Encyclopedia]
