The Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation will present a hands-on workshop: "Jihwa" - Korean Traditional Paper Flower Making.

Jihwa are flowers made from hanji, which is a traditional Korean mulberry paper. They are traditional Korean craftwork usually made for Buddhist rituals and shamanistic or private events in ancient times. Jihwa is often created in the forms of peonies, chrysanthemums, and lotuses.

“This tradition is a legacy of our ancestors, who respected life regardless of whether it was an animal or a plant. If we understand this tradition’s significant meaning, we can appreciate it today.” - KACAF
