Elegant Fountain Pen Notebook Inspired by Joseon’s Love for Books – The Chaekgado Project
Explore a notebook that blends traditional Korean artistry with modern design. This elegant A5 fountain pen notebook is part of the Chaekgado Project, a collaboration between Composition Studio and the National Heritage Promotion Agency. Rooted in the rich cultural love of books from the Joseon Dynasty, this product captures the essence of Korea’s literary heritage in a contemporary form.
A Tribute to Chaekgado – The Art of Admiring Books
Chaekgado, a classical Korean painting style, represents a deep yearning to be near books—even in art. This sentiment was famously echoed by King Jeongjo in Hongjaejeonseo, “Even if you can’t read books, you feel better when you go into the study and touch them.”
In the Joseon era, books symbolized wisdom and were cherished by everyone—kings, scholars, and everyday people alike. This notebook pays homage to that timeless appreciation.

¡Hola, amiga! Te tengo que contar sobre este cuaderno de pluma K-Heritage. Me enamoré en cuanto lo vi. Tiene un toque súper elegante y ese diseño inspirado en los libros clásicos me recuerda a esas historias que nos gustaban de niñas. A veces solo abro el cuaderno y simplemente disfruto ver cómo las letras fluyen; hasta creo que estoy tocando la historia misma con cada página que lleno, como si hiciera eco del antiguo amor por leer y escribir ¡es precioso! Literalmente no quiero usar otro.
