Original stationery crafted from washi paper, a traditional material deeply embedded in Japanese culture.

In the digital age, the value of analog communication, such as handwritten letters and personalized diaries adorned with stickers, remains undiminished.

Our company specializes in producing and selling original stationery using washi, a traditional Japanese paper deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Washi is characterized by its strength, which comes from intertwining natural plant fibers during papermaking. This material ages gracefully over time, comfortably conforms to the hand upon touching, and each sheet possesses a unique texture.

We continuously update our product catalog to align with seasonal trends and current styles, ensuring our stylish and cute original stationery always offers something new. This approach allows you to enjoy fresh aspects of Japanese culture and design without growing tired of them.

Our Dedication to Quality Materials

For over 50 years, our company has been crafting letter sets using traditional Japanese washi paper, a product cherished by customers in Japan for its texture and ease of writing. In recent years, the unique appeal of washi has also garnered appreciation in North America (including the United States and Canada) and Asia (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea).

In addition to our washi-based products, we have been producing letter sets made from Western-style paper for over half a century, which have also been well-received domestically. Our commitment to quality ensures that even our Western-style paper products offer a superior writing experience.

Mizuhiki Bands Using Traditional Japanese Crafts

Mizuhiki is a fine Japanese art that involves strengthening washi (traditional paper) strings with starch and entwining them with vibrant fibers and film. After a shine-enhancing treatment, they're cut to around one meter.

Our range includes rubber bands made in Japan, drawing inspiration from Mizuhiki, Obijime (kimono belt clasps), and lucky knots. We present a suite of seven distinct patterns from Japanese knot artistry.

The bands stand 63 mm tall and 115 mm wide. The inner diameter of the rubber band is 70 mm, and it's 10 mm thick. They're perfect for keeping common Goshuin-cho (stamp books), and 110-130 mm wide books and planners closed, adding both a utility and an aesthetic touch.

These bands have won over international fans as souvenirs and earned the esteemed Omotenashi Selection 2023, a testament to their embodiment of Japanese hospitality.
