🏺 Artisan Info

The original Chochungdo series is attributed to Sin Saimdang (申師任堂, 1504–1551) — poet, calligrapher, and one of the most celebrated female artists of the Joseon Dynasty. The works, now held in the National Museum of Korea (Accession No. 3550), are admired for their delicate brushwork, vivid colour, and quietly composed energy.

Each of the eight panels depicts a different corner of the natural world — watermelons, mice, butterflies — observed with the patient attention of a master. So beloved were these paintings that they were later reproduced as embroidery patterns, carried into everyday Korean life through thread and cloth.

💡 Care Instructions

Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. Store flat or upright to protect the cover and binding.

✨ Please Note

Artwork is reproduced from original Korean folk paintings. Minor colour variations may occur between production batches.

Before you open it, you notice the cover — and that is entirely the point.

The Chochungdo Silk Hardcover Notebook takes its design from a detail of Chochungdo — Korea's traditional genre of painting depicting insects, birds, and the natural world in exquisite, unhurried detail. This edition carries the watermelon motif, printed on a silk cover that is soft to the touch and quietly striking on a desk. At 135 × 190mm, it sits comfortably in the hand; the unlined interior leaves space for whatever you bring to it, and a ribbon marker holds your place without fuss. Korean heritage stationery made for those who want an object with a story, not just a surface.

A piece of Korean painting, held in your hands. Made in South Korea.
