・Munja-do is a type of folk painting at Joseon Dynasty that expresses letters in pictorial ways such as calligraphy.

・Draw a picture on a hanji, traditional Korean handmade paper which has been highly acclaimed with its excellence in smooth and durable texture. A Hanji of 50 to 200-year-old antique books will be provided for the experience.

・There is no rough sketch or a set rule. You can express it in any way by visualizing the initials of your name. While drawing, have a time to think about the meaning of your name.
