Order now to receive before December 25th!

During the last half of November into December, international delivery can take a lot longer than other times and the deadline for guaranteed delivery before December 25 by STANDARD AIRMAIL is usually around November 15th. So this year we set order deadline to November 13th for guaranteed delivery before December 25 with standard airmail and registered airmail options.

All orders received before November 13th Japan Time (UTC+9) will be shipped before November 16th, but ORDERS RECEIVED AFTER NOVEMBER 14TH WILL NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL AFTER NOVEMBER 27TH. (We will stop processing new orders received after Nov 14th until Nov 26th)

If you select EMS shipping option, your order will still be delivered before December 25th when orders placed after November 14th. The deadline for EMS shipping will be announced later.

So please if you are thinking to shop Japanese stationery, washi tapes, paper goods, paper balloons, beautiful kitchen towels, furoshiki wrapping cloths, eco friendly shopping bags, etc.... (we have so many wonderful items that would be excellent to make unique gifts!) please remember to place your orders before next Monday (or end of this weekend for those who live in Europe, US, Canada).

Thank you!

Tennen Seikatsu Vol.83 Dec 2011 with a free mt tape!

One of the most popular natural lifestyle magazines in Japan, Tennen Seikatsu (天然生活, literally means "Natural Life" in English) is celebrating its 8th year anniversary and this month they give out a special mt washi tape designed by a popular textile designer Yurio Seki with a copy of their latest issue! (The tape is SO CUTE!)
One of the highlight of this issue includes the story of how the mt washi tapes are made, with photographs of their factory. The texts are all in Japanese only, but with so many beautifully styled photographs the magazine would be a great inspiration!

October New Items #3: Cute Polka Dot Paper Goods

More from the new arrivals are the cute polka dot paper goods! The above small notebooks are just gorgeous, with towel-like soft felt cover each note book is filled with translucent polka dot paper. Each sheet can be removed from the note book quite easily so it can be used as letter paper, origami or wrapping small items. Available in 3 colours: Beige (70 sheets of grey dot paper), Grey (70 sheets of pink dot paper) and Blue (90 sheets of bigger dot paper in beige, green and brown colours).


Another item, A4 Polka Dot Copy Paper can be used on the ink jet printers. (Some printers may cause wrinkles as the paper is lighter and softer than normal copy paper.) They would be great for gift wrapping, book cover or your own note book making. Same paper used in the Polka Dot Small Notebook {grey}


Polka Dot A4 Copy Paper -For DIY Calling Card- is nice mat and thick paper which you can use to make your own calling card. On the dot pattern, there are tiny white dots as guideline so if you print your design on the paper and cut the paper along the guide lines you can make 10 of the 90mm x 55mm size calling card per sheet. It would also be great for making your own invitation cards, menus etc.


Also newly added today, though not polka dot, is the popular Art Paper {Night Sky} in CHRISTMAS SPECIAL VERSION. It would make any Christmas gift a really charming one!


As "Christmas" is mentioned, I must also mention that the due date for shipping packages to overseas to guarantee delivery before 25 December will be approaching soon. It still hasn't been announced by the JAPAN POST yet but usually it's around 15 November for most countries. (This is by standard airmail) I will inform you later when it is announced but please be aware!
