- Hanji (Korean paper art)
Hanji is the name of a traditional paper art form originating from
Korea .There are two basic divisions of hanji, a two dimensional and a three dimensional.
Two dimensional hanji uses paper of various colors to create an image in a similar format as a painting, however the paper itself is folded and crumpled making the image stick up from the paper it is adhered, but the image itself is only a 2 dimensional likeness, although there may be depth to some of the elements. 2 dimensional hanji are typically framed much like a painting.
Three dimensional hanji is similar to paper mache, in that it attempts to make sculpture type objects which may stand unsupported.
