September 1st was Hobonichi Day and thank you to everyone who celebrated Yoseka's 5th Hobonichi Day with us! Ashley and I recap our (semi-stressful) 2022 Hobonichi release, how the last few days have been working on orders and talk more about our upcoming Hobonichi restock, popular covers and share more fun Hobonichi stories. This year, to celebrate planner season, Ashley designed the newest edition of our Yoseka Highlights postcard that we include in all orders and I just love her design that features Team Yoseka's diverse array of planners. In our newly added stationery section, we have adorable new sets...

With planner season around the corner and Hobonichi Day (September 1st) in just a couple of weeks, I thought it would be a great time for some of our team members to share how we use our Hobonichi planners! I swear using a Hobonichi is not a requirement when I am looking to add to our team, but it does seem that a whole lot of us have chosen Hobonichi planners this past year. In this blogpost, you'll hear from myself (Daisy), Neil, Ashley, Christine and Amy. We each use our own Hobonichi planners in different ways and we're excited to...

From Wednesday, September 28 to Sunday, October 2, Kakimori will be taking over Yoseka with their signature Inkstand and notebook customization services!  Kakimori is a stationery store and brand from the neighborhood of Kuramae in Tokyo. Founded in 1961 as a commercial office supply business, in 2014, Kakimori opened up their Inkstand, where customers are still allowed to walk in or make reservations to customize their own personal ink blends after experimenting with ink base colors drop by drop.  Kakimori as a brand emphasizes craftsmanship and artisanship, and they have taken these ideals even further by expanding upon their ink-making services to...

The theme of next year's Traveler's Company refills has been announced and it is "Traveler's Cafe" reminding all of us that a good cup of coffee in a cozy cafe while journaling can be appreciated no matter where you are traveling in the world! Coffee and tea lovers (although coffee is definitely represented more in these motifs!) and stationery enthusiasts will be so excited to see the coming year's Traveler's theme of "Cafe"!  There is definitely an intersection between these two communities and we are excited to see that represented on next year's limited refills. We love this year's theme and...

Today I’m delighted to introduce you all to the newest member of our team, Amy! Amy moved to NYC for college and has been here since. A lover of art and writing since childhood, she still has stashes of art supplies and sketchbooks from middle and high school. She came to Yoseka from another stationery store, and when not working at the store, she writes and works as a freelance copy editor and proofreader. She enjoys journaling and reading and records notes and quotes in a variety of notebooks. Her current stationery favorites are her Hobonichi Techo and Sailor Shikiori...

Hi everyone, it's Christine!As we approach planner season, I can't help feeling giddy with excitement. There's nothing quite like a fresh planner to start the new year. And it's always around this time that I find myself scrolling through Instagram and watching plan-with-me videos on YouTube to discover new ways to use my planner. I love taking a peek at others' setups, especially hearing about the tools/accessories they use and what systems work for them. So, I thought it might be fun to share my current planner setup with you all as well!In this blog post, I'll be sharing: What...
