preservation efforts be grounded in knowledge of the history and
traditions embedded within the objects. This two-day conference will
address the distinct historical and aesthetic differences that
inform the rich artistic traditions of China, Japan, and Korea, as
well as the practical concerns of handling, housing, storage,
exhibition and conservation treatment of paper-based objects from
this region.
