*Result*: Technoscience of Tak and Artisans: Resourceful Evolution of Chosŏn Papermaking.

*The article is a book review of "Technoscience of Tak and Artisans: Resourceful Evolution of Chosŏn Papermaking" by Jung Lee. The book explores the history of papermaking technology and industry in Joseon Korea (1392-1910) and its impact on science and technology in early modern Korea. The author examines the unique papermaking process in Korea, which involved using a native tree called "Dak" to create durable paper that could be recycled and repurposed. The book also reevaluates the intellectual reform movement in the eighteenth century known as "Silhak" and highlights the importance of artisans in shaping Korean history. The concept of "giji," or being resourceful, is central to the book and emphasizes the artisans' skillfulness in rearranging material sources. The book offers insights into science and technology beyond the Western context and challenges conventional narratives about Korean history. [Extracted from the article]
