This talk will review points along > the long history of Korean papermaking, nearly two millennia long, and the > culture that it shaped. The botanical perspective begins with the paper > mulberry tree, which makes durable and versatile paper. An historical > overview will trace paper's route from China to Korea and how it developed > as Buddhism spread through East Asia, as well as its role in the USA. > Images and videos, accompanied by samples of hanji and paper > artwork—including paper made from plants harvested at Albion—will > illuminate the technical details of this ancient but still valuable > craft....
