Hanji papermaking, an ancient technique which utilizes the bark of the Korean

  and sculpture. We invite you to join the Smithsonian’s Libraries, Asian Cultural History Program and Office of Policy and Analysis to learn more about
  this process, its use and conservation. Our speakers will be Paul Michael Taylor, Director of the Asian Cultural History at the Smithsonian, and Hajin Song, Mayor of Jeonju City, Korea.

This program is also sponsored by Office of the Mayor, Jeonju City, Korea and
