Ashley has finally made her return to Yoseka and she is back on this week's episode of Catching Up! Last week, our new 申 Sen Refresh Fountain Pen, Ceramics Inks and Ceramics Inks Stickers were released and we have been so moved by your response to our new releases. Ashley and I talk about what it's been like here at Yoseka these last few days working on all your orders and of course, share our new favorite stationery and our picks for Customer Friends of the Week. Thank you for watching and be sure let us know in the comments...

At the beginning of 2022, we set our goal for the year to be the creation of special projects with each of our team members that we could share with our customers. Before we went on our store break in January, Neil and I had a little meeting with our team and announced to everyone that we would love for each of them to think of something they would like to create for Yoseka, and we would help them make it.  When everyone had their ideas set, we began to work on them at Yoseka and over the next few months,...

After spending lots of time in the storefront last week, Neil and I are feeling motivated and ready to tackle all the work ahead for next week's release! With my last minute cramming skills, Neil's planner mentality and our amazing team behind us, we are making progress everyday for our June 1st launch. We've got some cute stories to share about our Customer-Friends of the Week! Hope you enjoy watching!

Hi everyone! We recently shared on our Instagram and in a blog post that after five years of writing thank you notes in all of our online orders, we are changing the way we will be saying thank you in your orders. In this special episode of Catching Up, Neil and I talk a little about the reasons behind this decision and what you can expect in your orders going forward. A hint: our handwritten personalized thank you's are not ending, but you may also be getting something else in your orders too. Thank you for all of your support,...

Hi everyone! It feels good to be back after a week of quarantining and isolating! Neil and I are here on this episode of Catching Up to share some exciting news about events planned for this summer, LCN's 10 year anniversary box set and my favorite new Kodomo no Kao stamps. Thank you everyone for wishing us well while we were out sick last week!

Hi everyone! Daisy here :) I’m not exactly sure how to start this blog post! I’ve written so many in the past, but this is a hard one!  After over a year of thinking about this and many hours of discussions with Neil and our team, we have made the decision to change our thank you notes that we enclose with our online orders. Bear with me as I explain… When Neil and I first started Yoseka Stationery, many things were different. First of all, we were called Yoseka Box 😅 Yoseka started as a side project for Neil. At...

Neil is here on this episode of Catching Up to tell our unfortunate story of falling for some fake orders over the past few weeks. You can help us find evidence to win our chargebacks though! This week, we are looking forward to Jane's farewell dinner and Neil and I talk about some interesting new stationery with a lengthy backstory. Thanks for watching everyone.

Today we are looking ahead and really excited to finally be able to share the details of this exclusive @travelers_company Partner Shop postcard illustrated for us by our dearest friend @meaganillustrates When Traveler’s reached out to us and asked us which Traveler’s Notebook user we could think of that would be great for this project, Neil and I didn’t hesitate to recommend Meagan. She was the obvious choice for us because time and again, she has blown us away with the artwork she has created for us. From her watercolor of our Greenpoint storefront that she gifted us for our one year anniversary to...

Four years ago, we began carrying gold nib fountain pens. The first gold nib pen we sold was a Pilot burgundy Decimo in fine, and I still remember the customer’s name. Building up a collection of gold nibs was expensive, and we couldn’t get a lot of them. Our goal at Yoseka is to bring wonderful stationery in one place, and we want to represent a full range of writing tools— from gel, ballpoint, rollerball to more expensive gold nib pens. We love watching customers discover a different feeling in writing and that moment of happiness is why we opened...

Jane delivers some news in this newest episode of Catching Up! But before that, we added new Stalogy, Uni Jetstream pens, Kakimori, and more. Find out what our picks are for this week's favorite new items. Thanks for watching :)
