Korean Unryu Paper Roll - RED

The term hanji translates to “paper from Korea” or “Korean paper,” specifically traditional paper handmade from the inner bark of the paper mulberry plant. Paper Mulberry is found commonly throughout Asia, but is localized in Korea to the foothills of the nation’s many mountain ranges. Hanji has an ancient and extensive history ranging in application from clothing to flooring and even armor! 

Known in Korea as Unyongji, this variety of hanji paper is very similar to Thai Unryu Paper, with cloud-like mulberry inclusions embedded throughout the sheet. It weighs only 25 grams per square meter, but is known for its incredible strength and longevity. This red Korean paper roll features a tissue-weight mulberry base with light and thin fiber inclusions blended throughout. With two sizes offered, this lightweight Hanji paper roll is perfect for large-format applications such as shoji screens, chine-colle, printing, lampshades, and fine wrapping paper.
