Jiseung/Noyeokgae: paper weaving

The process of cording and twining hanji (Korean handmade paper) by a master weaver, Na Seo Hwan. This ancient paper craft is known formally as noyeokgae and colloquially as jiseung. The intense labor, time, and strength required means that very few masters remain, and even fewer serious disciples. Camera and editing by Aimee Lee © 2009 For more information and weaving images:
