Jeonju made books, too

Behind the city's familiar hanok architecture and food culture is a history of publishing. Wanpanbon Culture Center introduces old books and print traditions connected with Jeonju. Wanpanbon refers to editions associated with this historic area.

Follow the printed words

The official Jeonbuk tourism description mentions traditional Korean novels, publications of the former provincial administration and the broader history of book production. Imagine the people who carved blocks, prepared paper, printed pages and read the results.

Workshops need checking

Tourism material also mentions printing or Korean paper experiences. That does not mean there is a session today. Workshop dates, eligibility, fees and booking conditions for November 2026 were not established.
