    Curious why this segment was shelved for so long -- they met before the pandemic? So three years ago?! Great reporting on the history and current use of the paper.

    I used to make a lot of paper, called kozo, which was a mulberry paper loosely based on the Japanese version of kozo and a first cousin to the hanji shown in the video. It's all still fascinating to me.

      Hanji has many thicknesses and some of which might work, but the color may be dull. Korea has its own paper for Jong-ijeobgi/Origami, called 색종이(Colored-paper/Origami paper).

    Can Humans be Tamed?
    We need to develop ourselves as human beings beyond our animate level of existence, and it is possible with a certain kind of education.
    Developing ourselves as human beings means learning and balancing ourselves with the integral laws of nature operating on our lives. If we learn how to positively connect among each other in human society, with altruistic attitudes replacing our current egoistic attitudes, we then develop ourselves beyond the animate level of existence and become human beings in the fullest sense of the term.
    First, we need to provide for our animate lives, giving our physical bodies the food, sex and family that they require, then after taking care of those essentials, we can begin our human development. We then need to learn who and what we are, where we are from, why we exist, how we can develop ourselves, how we can control our human development, what our attitude to our surrounding society should be, what society’s attitude should be toward us, and how we can develop together harmoniously, i.e. us in relation to society, and society in relation to us.
    We need to supply ourselves with this development that will make us human beings. Unfortunately, I see nobody understanding what it means to develop a human being, and we thus fail to realize such a process. One of the outcomes of our lack of development into human beings is our inability to understand the younger generation. We become increasingly detached from them, and do not know what will happen with them or how to guide them in a beneficial direction. We thus let life unfold as it does, into a proliferation of problems and crises.
    Very simply, we need to learn what nature wants from us, and to develop in order to balance with nature’s demands toward us. If we meet those demands, we can then build a harmonious and peaceful world, one that is in balance with nature.

      The Han dynasty Chinese court official Cai Lun (c. 50-121 CE) is credited as the inventor of a method of papermaking *(inspired by wasps and bees)* using rags and other plant fibers in 105 CE.

      i can see how rice production could lead to the idea of sheets of plant fibers, when boiling rice the rice water will contain disolved fibers, if you pour that over a flat surface (rock, wood, etc) it will form a solid sheet
