hanji flower hand fan, product, 2019
the handmade color hanji of shinpoong was used by hand fan artisans of namwon region to make 4 kinds of flower-shaped fans(camellia, peony blossom, plum blossom, water lily). The flowers are common motifs taken from traditional folk paintings. modest or colorful hanji is rendered into flower blossoms to create a new objet with the help of bamboo fan frames. we propose two designs: conventional fan design using short bamboo stick and new design using longer stick which allows for putting them in a vase for decoration.
