Autumn, through the cracks of the book
Jeonju Reading Festival was held at Jeonju Stadium and the annex of the Jeonbuk Women's Family Foundation, where you can discover the joy of life in the book and preserve the joy as a speciality of travel. Jeonju Reading Festival, which has been going on since 2018, is a book festival in which book culture ecosystems such as publishing, reading, education, and cultural circles across the country participate together.
A place where you're serious about reading in an era where books are lost
Jeonju is the home of the publishing culture that printed a complete version of the Joseon Dynasty, and the only place of recording culture that protected the Royal Records of Joseon. In a city that loves books and reading, which has more than 150 large and small libraries, every year, the Jeonju Reading Festival allows you to enjoy reading, which you usually stay away from, and approach many readers in more depth. From simply reading to hands-on experience reading, through an active experience that satisfies the five senses, the program is providing a new place for fun and lively communication of reading through programs that are shared by all generations to make it easier for anyone to read. In particular, in addition to a special time to meet the author of the book in person, you can listen to lectures from famous people in the domestic publishing industry along with the authors selected for Jeonju Book of the Year. In addition, you can experience a variety of books and experiences at a performance that tells stories that the whole family can enjoy together, and at a book market where you can meet books from local bookstores, bookstores, and publishers in one place.
A thousand years of Korean paper!
Embrace as a culture and blossom into industry.
The Jeonju International Hanji Industrial Exhibition was held at Jeonju Stadium, the Korean Traditional Culture Center, and the Jeonju Thousand Years Hanji Hall. This festival has a variety of programs to reinterpret the various functions of Korean paper, which has a thousand years of history, and to look at and feel beautiful Korean paper.
The site of a beautiful festival embroidered with colorful Korean paper
Let's take a look at the Jeonju International Hanji Industrial Exhibition, where you can appreciate and feel not only the functionality of Korean paper but also the aesthetic parts. First of all, at the Korean Traditional Culture Center, colorful crafts and Korean paper sculptures photo zones, which come as a work of art, not just paper, caught people's attention at once. The unique materiality of Korean paper and the harmony of subtle colors were beautiful, so the exclamation of the viewers continued. At Jeonju Stadium, where you can enjoy the experience more actively, various experiences were held for anyone to participate, including woodblock printing experience, rubbed copy experience, Korean paper making, calligraphy, Korean paper knitting, and Korean paper crafts. I even felt the craftsmanship as everyone who participated focused on the experience and worked hard to create one work. In addition, a demonstration of the manufacture of traditional Korean paper with the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Hanjijang and Jeonju Hanjijang was also held, allowing a meaningful special experience.
