Yo, just got my hands on the Chochungdo Goseo Note! 💖 Seriously, it’s like carrying a piece of history in your bag. Those Shin Saimdang vibes are so fresh—it takes me right back to when I was exploring traditional Korean culture with friends. Every page feels fancy and old-school, but still totally usable for doodles or note-taking without being too posh to write in! Perfect for anyone who loves art and wants their ideas nestled amongst those cute bugs and grass patterns from way back then. Can’t wait to show this off at my next meetup!

In eerste instantie was ik sceptisch over het belang van een notitieboek. Ze lijken op elkaar, toch? Maar de Chochungdo Goseo Note vertelt echt een verhaal; dat voelde ik onmiddellijk toen ik deze in handen hield. De indruk van Shin Saimdang’s meesterlijke werken maakt iedere pagina tot een stuk geschiedenis en inspiratie. Zelfs de geur van het papier roept iets nostalgisch op – alsof elke pagina nog fluistert naar schrijvers die gekomen zijn vóór ons. Dit kleine notitieboekje is niet zomaar functioneel; het heeft charme en karakter waarmee mijn creatieve geest gestimuleerd wordt bij elk verslag of schets. Voor wie artietsliefhebber is of gewoon elegant wil noteren, biedt dit boek meer dan alleen lege bladzijden.
