This edition reproduces Vincent van Gogh's \u003cem\u003eBouquet of Flowers in a Vase\u003c\/em\u003e (1890), held today in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It's one of the loosely-brushed still lifes van Gogh painted in his final year, built around the blue-and-ochre palette and the thick, almost brick-like layering of paint he was working with near the end of his life in Auvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhy wax paper, specifically\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe cover isn't printed on card stock — it's wax-treated paper, the same finish Yamamoto uses across the RO-BIKI line. It starts smooth and slightly stiff, and with handling it creases, scuffs, and softens the way leather does, so the painting on the front picks up a texture of use rather than staying flat and glossy. A notebook you've actually carried for six months looks different from one still in shrink wrap — that's intentional, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eBuilt for actual writing, not just display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside are 60 pages of 5mm dot grid on roughly 75g\/m² ivory writing paper, finished to take fountain pen ink cleanly with minimal feathering and reasonably fast dry time — this isn't a novelty notebook that only looks good closed. The pages are thread-bound with saddle stitching, so the notebook opens flat rather than fighting you at the spine, which matters more than it sounds when you're sketching or writing across a two-page spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWorks as a Traveler's Notebook passport refill\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 88 × 125mm, this matches standard passport-size Traveler's Notebook dimensions almost exactly, so it slides into a passport-size TN leather cover the same way an official TN refill would — a lower-cost, wax-paper alternative if you're already running that system and want something with more visual character than a plain kraft insert. It also works perfectly well on its own, without any cover at all, for anyone who just wants a compact, pocket-sized notebook for travel or daily notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCover: wax-treated paper (RO-BIKI finish), Van Gogh's \u003cem\u003eBouquet of Flowers in a Vase\u003c\/em\u003e (1890), Metropolitan Museum of Art collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: 88 × 125mm (passport size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePages: 60, 5mm dot grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eProduct code: GA051\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePaper: approx. 75g\/m² ivory writing paper, fountain pen friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBinding: thread-stitched, saddle stitch, lies flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFits passport-size Traveler's Notebook covers as a refill\/insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBilingual service — English and French\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Shosai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48041447915745,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/8032\/1249\/files\/13107210_1002.jpg?v=1772563939","url":"https:\/\/shosai.ca\/products\/yamamoto-paper-ro-biki-note-museum-series-bouquet-of-flowers-ga051","provider":"Shosai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
