We have so many people to shout out for Customer-Friend of the Week—slow down, guys! We can’t keep up with how awesome you all are :) Thanks for watching!!

This is Jane with a quick breakdown of the April-start versions of the ever-popular Hobonichi planners. To those who are unfamiliar, the world of Hobonichi may seem chaotic and abstruse. Before I experienced “Hobonichi season” firsthand for the first time last fall, I know that’s how I felt. One of the questions we hear often is about the second release date of Hobonichi planners, just in time for April – a quarter of the way into the new year. What is the purpose of the April start, and who is it designed for? Hobonichi designed the April-start version of their...

Hi friends! We are back with another Casually Catching Up and this time, Neil is here with me to talk about what we've been busy doing this week. We are getting used to lots of changes here at Yoseka: a new storage space means new schedule, a different commute and lots of logistics all while making do without Soraya's help for now. We're happy to announce that we are back on track with adding some new stationery to inspire and motivate! Before watching, can you guess what new brand of lovely leather pouches and cases we've added? Answer below in...

In the next two weeks, we will be kicking off stationery items from Midori 70th Anniversary. Most of them are still on their way to us, but we are happy to start with Diamond Memo : ) This modest looking memo was first introduced in 1961. It was during a time when memo pads were commonly used on tables only. After the war, businesses were blooming in Japan with many white-collar jobs created. And Diamond Memo was designed exactly for those jobs. The cover is waterproof, and it is made to fit perfectly in the shirt pocket — short enough...
