It’s no secret the importance that hanji – Korean handmade paper – holds in the country’s arts and textiles scene, but it also forms the backbone of another traditional craft: jiseung, which is the technique of cording hanji before weaving it by hand into functional objects. A rising star in jiseung is Young Mi Park, who has graced several exhibitions with her novel take on the art form; her archery quiver, for example, was granted a special invitation to be displayed in showcases across Europe. Heirloom-worthy baskets and boxes debunk the myth that paper is weak, each one expected to last for more than 1,000 years.
