- Traditional Korean paper, Hanji, is made from the inner bark fibers of the mulberry tree. Known for its durability, there is an old saying: “Hanji lasts a thousand years, silk lasts five hundred.” Resistant to moisture, insects, and external damage, Hanji has been used for centuries in many ways. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was even layered to make armor strong enough to withstand arrows.
- Today, hanji (traditional Korean paper) is gaining attention not only as a traditional material but also as a sustainable and eco-friendly resource. The raw material for hanji, the mulberry tree, is harvested by cutting only the annual branches without cutting down the tree trunk. New branches sprout below the cut branches the following year, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly harvesting method.
- Lotus flowers and lotus leaves symbolize the Pure Land, rebirth from the lotus (lotus-born life), prosperity of descendants, and noble persons in Buddhism. They carry an image of purity and cleanliness and have been widely used in palaces and temples due to their strong decorative effect.
| Unique Point
- The hanji tray is a handcrafted artisan product, made entirely by hand from production to finishing. It is crafted using high-quality hanji paper produced in Jeonju, Jeollado.
- The tray is finished with shellac, a biodegradable and eco-friendly natural insect resin, which is the only natural resin used in daily life for coating food and pharmaceuticals, as well as for paper cups and containers. This finish makes the tray water-resistant for everyday use.
- As a creative product that can be bent by hand to form any desired shape, it can be used to hold light snacks, office supplies, or small items, serving as a stylish interior accessory.
| Detail
- The hanji tray can be shaped by bending it with your hands. As shown in the picture above, hold the tray with one hand and use your other hand to bend the edge of the leaf vein (indicated by the circled area) inward.
- Lotus leaves cleanse themselves even in muddy water, always remaining clean, symbolizing purity that is untouched by the defilements of the world. This also connects to the Buddhist concept of enlightenment. Beyond its symbolic meaning, the design inspired by this natural form is universally appealing, making it an excellent gift both in Korea and for foreigners.

| Care Instructions | The tray is coated with natural resin shellac, giving it water-repellent properties. You can gently rinse it under running water for a short time, but be sure to dry it thoroughly with a dry towel afterward. Alternatively, you can simply wipe it with a damp cloth. Since shellac is sensitive to heat, it is recommended to use and store the product in a cool, dry environment. |
