A brief overview of making bamboo screens necessary for making hanji, Korean handmade paper. Only one master screenmaker remains in Korea, and he provides screens for papermills all over the country. Yu Bae Geun was also a papermaker and is currently Jeolla-do's intangible property holder in screen making; I visited his studio in March 2009.
