Preserving Hanji, the Ancient Korean Craft of Papermaking, in Ohio

Aimee Lee has taken on the mission of preserving the ancient Korean art of hanji, or traditional Korean papermaking, by bringing this centuries-old craft to Ohio. Learning from Korean masters, she now continues the delicate process of making hanji in the United States, ensuring this cultural heritage is maintained and appreciated far from its roots. Her efforts highlight the importance of cultural preservation and the significance of maintaining traditional arts in a rapidly globalizing world. This initiative not only celebrates Korean heritage but also educates new generations about the intricate beauty of hanji.
