Jeonju Hanji Culture Festival

Since its launch in 1997, the Jeonju Hanji Culture Festival has spearheaded the industrialization and globalization of Jeonju Hanji, taking the lead in widely promoting the excellence of this thousand-year-old paper. Furthermore, by culturally reinterpreting the diverse functions and values of Hanji, the festival expresses the beauty and significance of this paper that has accompanied people for centuries. The annual "National Hanji Craft Competition" discovers Hanji works imbued with the dedication and craftsmanship of artisans nationwide, contributing to the development and expansion of the Hanji craft industry. Additionally, the "National Children's Hanji Art Competition" is a contest where children unleash their boundless imagination and creativity on Hanji drawing paper, helping future generations naturally encounter our unique Hanji culture and understand its value and beauty. In this way, the Jeonju Hanji Culture Festival goes beyond the inheritance and development of traditional Hanji; by reinterpreting Hanji as a modern cultural content and providing a venue for arts and culture that diverse generations can enjoy together, it is at the forefront of widely publicizing the value of Jeonju Hanji both at home and abroad.
