It's not often that a notebook makes a political statement, and if you don't know your Korean history, this one could be easy to miss.

This lined journal from Picniq Design Graphics features a compelling image on its own, made more so with the knowledge that 1985 was a pivotal year in South Korean politics, and a prelude to democratic reforms in the country. Perhaps encouraging "Opinion and Action," the design is set in a political context and oh yeah, it's a cool notebook too.

Journal measures 5 3/4 inches wide by 8 2/8 inches tall by 2/8 of an inch deep.
