Online Hanji paper store, in English .....

I'm really pleased to be able to share with you this website where you can order a variety of Hanji papers from Korea and it's all in English !!!  The store is based in Daejon, Korea.

 

HAMINBRIDGE (Thehanji) was established by Moonyang Park in 1983. It's a family owned 2nd generation  business and they have a factory in Junju.  They also have a factory in China where some of the paper is made. The website is at www.thehanji.com and it provides a selection of specialty Hanji paper (Korean paper) and products. 



I ordered some papers from them recently  to see what it was like and they were extremely efficient in dealing with  the order and it was here in the UAE within 5 days so I was really impressed. The prices were good and they even have some on special, the paper is beautiful and the ease of ordering was amazing.  

They do sell rolls of paper, traditional papers and lanterns but overall I did think the range was a bit limited for what I want.  I'd love to see some more plain colours, bleaching papers and patterned papers but this is certainly a great start.


Check it out if you're looking to order Hanji paper directly from Korea.

    Hi. I stumbled across your blog while researching Korean themed scrapbook paper. I make cards but I want to teach myself to make boxes. I'm a Korean drama watcher and I want to make Korean themed items. I would love to go on your next Korean trip since I love paper crafts, textiles & food. Hiromi Papers dot com and Paper Arts dot com here in the U.S. has colored hanji paper.

    Hello there!
    I'm a belgian girl who got ontroduced to Hanji at a fair and I'd like to develop it a bit. I'm a looking for starter kits as I plan to try with my niece who is quite young. (She saw the box I made and was quite impressed) I looked through that website (and it's pretty much the only one I found in English) and try to look up Yehan's one as well as they were providing the kit I used but was unable to understand it... Would you have any idea of a supplier that would send to my country and have an English version of their website? Thank You

Lotus symbol in Korean culture .....

In traditional Korean Hanji art you can see many different designs of plants, animals, letters and insects. I'm sure you've wondered what they all symbolise as they are repeated so often and in many different ways.  In this post I just want to take a brief look at the lotus plant and what it symbolises for the Korean people. I've used this design on a few articles but I never really knew the full meaning of what it represented until I started doing some research for my book.  Even though many of us aren't Korean we can still use these designs and in so doing, translate a deeper meaning to our articles. Here are a just a few of my favourites from the easiest to the more difficult to cut out.                         The lotus flower symbolises creation, birth, liveability and reproduction and therefore it's one of the most  important symbols in both Korean culture and its traditional religions. In both Confucianism and Buddhism

The Buddhist symbol, Hanji & Korean culture ....

When selecting designs for my Hanji pieces I tend to make stylistic choices as to what will look best on each piece but the Korean designs all have very deep symbolic meanings.  None more than the Buddhist swastika (manja) design. ‘Manja’ (만, Man is “卍” and 만자, Manja literally means “letter Man”) is also called Srivatsalksana in Sanskrit.  It is one of the thirty-two (32) marks of excellence of the Buddha and is said to exist on his hands, feet, hair and waist.                         For those of us in the West this is often confused with the German Nazi swastika symbol but in fact it's been  around for about three thousand years.  The swastika is an equilateral cross with arms bent at right angles and all in the same direction, usually to the right, or clockwise. It's a symbol of prosperity and good fortune and it originally represented the revolving sun, fire, or life. The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit swastika which means, "conducive to well
