“In paper we write all record, all thought- because we cannot live without paper.” ❤

you should do a story about Korean potters. They're amazing.

Brilliant process! Excellent, very interesting reporting.

Fascinating process, fantastic reporting.

I still have my grandama’s hanji paper lantern! Cherish that and handing it down to my kids.

Curious why this segment was shelved for so long -- they met before the pandemic? So three years ago?! Great reporting on the history and current use of the paper.

That’s amazing The world should preserve more ancient cultures

They used to make kitchen wear made out of Hanji, too. It’s a very simple and beautiful and useful. Check KZread Korean Hanji making documentary.

Finally, hanji getting some recognition!! Yes!

Que arduo trabajo y fascinante A la vez Gracias Korea🥰

The ingenuity of our collective ancestors is amazing. Who sat down and thought, if I steam this bark, for this long, process the pulp and sieve it flat, dry it and then I'll have something to write on?

The Han dynasty Chinese court official Cai Lun (c. 50-121 CE) is credited as the inventor of a method of papermaking *(inspired by wasps and bees)* using rags and other plant fibers in 105 CE.

This makes me want to explore incorporating artisan papers in my own artwork. I would love to see what it does to my process and how I think about my ink drawings.

Very interesting!

I used to make a lot of paper, called kozo, which was a mulberry paper loosely based on the Japanese version of kozo and a first cousin to the hanji shown in the video. It's all still fascinating to me.

Happy lunar New Year to the people who celebrate it I was born under the year of the monkey in 1968

Wonderful story about hand papermaking.

Can we order from them directly?

I found a Paper Mulberry in Philly. Gray's Ferry.

Amazing. Is it possible to buy any of this paper?

I would love to know the name of the happy music played at the end. :)

Hanji has many thicknesses and some of which might work, but the color may be dull. Korea has its own paper for Jong-ijeobgi/Origami, called 색종이(Colored-paper/Origami paper).

4:25 The Korean language use to use Chinese script for its writing system.

Can Humans be Tamed? We need to develop ourselves as human beings beyond our animate level of existence, and it is possible with a certain kind of education. Developing ourselves as human beings means learning and balancing ourselves with the integral laws of nature operating on our lives. If we learn how to positively connect among each other in human society, with altruistic attitudes replacing our current egoistic attitudes, we then develop ourselves beyond the animate level of existence and become human beings in the fullest sense of the term. First, we need to provide for our animate lives, giving our physical bodies the food, sex and family that they require, then after taking care of those essentials, we can begin our human development. We then need to learn who and what we are, where we are from, why we exist, how we can develop ourselves, how we can control our human development, what our attitude to our surrounding society should be, what society’s attitude should be toward us, and how we can develop together harmoniously, i.e. us in relation to society, and society in relation to us. We need to supply ourselves with this development that will make us human beings. Unfortunately, I see nobody understanding what it means to develop a human being, and we thus fail to realize such a process. One of the outcomes of our lack of development into human beings is our inability to understand the younger generation. We become increasingly detached from them, and do not know what will happen with them or how to guide them in a beneficial direction. We thus let life unfold as it does, into a proliferation of problems and crises. Very simply, we need to learn what nature wants from us, and to develop in order to balance with nature’s demands toward us. If we meet those demands, we can then build a harmonious and peaceful world, one that is in balance with nature.

Or, Han dynasty paper?!?
