Hello everyone! Our team had the best week ever meeting so many of you all at our Traveler's Diner event. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! You may notice we have a new background for our YouTube videos. Kudos to Ashley and Anna for getting their hands dirty and helping us put together our wall for our YouTube studio.

We've had a busy and fulfilling start to 2023 already! In January, we released our Yoseka Green Stalogy Editor's Series notebooks, celebrated Lunar New Year, posted lots of YouTube videos including a comprehensive Fountain Pen Inks Explained video and introduced our new "How To" and "Swatch with Yoseka" series! Hobonichi Spring Starts are also here! Doesn't it seem like the September release just happened?! Coming up, we are looking forward to our Traveler's Diner Pop Up in-store and more special projects this year from our talented team members. Here are some new stationery that we added that are featured in the...

Ashley and I are excited to share our new YouTube Studio with you all! As you will see in the video, it is still very much a work in progress so this week's video will be abbreviated. New this week, we have Hobonichi Spring Starts releasing and our Yoseka Green Stalogy Editor's Series is finally here. Hope you enjoy the episode!!

Traveler's Diner will be popping up at Yoseka Stationery from Thursday, February 9th to Sunday, February 12th! This event is to celebrate the creation and release of the adorable and delectable new Traveler's Diner Limited Sets.  Diners seem to be a quintessential part of American culture. Serving up a special blend of comfort foods, homey sides and heartier entrees, their lengthy menus are a source of familiarity and comfort for locals and travelers alike. But of course, Traveler's Diner is a little different from your average diner.  In Traveler's words, "TRAVELER’S DINER is not on the map. While locals can always get there, it is not...

We are happy to be fully back in the swing of things here at Yoseka! Last week, we re-opened our shop and it was so great to see many of you back in the store last week!

In our latest YouTube video, Fountain Pen Inks Explained, I explain some of the different ways you can use ink in your fountain pen--most often, the choice comes down to ink cartridge and ink bottle and be sure to watch the video for more information that will help with that decision.  Then, there is a little more to think about with the decision between the type of ink you want to ink up with. If you are concerned about archival properties and waterproof ink, you'll want to go with a pigment-based ink and if you are just here for the pretty colors...

In this video, our team shares our planner choices for 2023! This is our first time trying out a Techo Kaigi format where we go over our team’s planner changes from 2022 to 2023. Watch to find out which planners we are all using and how we plan on using them. Hope this video can be a source of inspiration as we go into the new year! Will you be using any of the same planners as us? Let us know in the comments and feel free to share how you’ll be using them!

Following the Traveler's Limited Sets that were released in April 2022, this limited set is a spin-off of the stories told in the Airline, Hotel, Train and Record sets. Each set is filled with its own brand of nostalgic charm and the Diner set is no different! With this set, Traveler's celebrates the quirky and uniquely retro feeling captured by the time capsules that are American diners. Diners seem to be a quintessential part of American culture. Serving up a special blend of comfort foods, homey sides and heartier entrees, their lengthy menus are a source of familiarity and comfort for locals and travelers alike. But of...

Happy Holidays everyone! It seems like everyday our team comes in buzzing with excitement and energy for the busy day ahead and we have had plenty of those thanks to you all! In November, we introduced a new brand here at Yoseka: BUNGUBOX! Anyone who follows the Japanese fountain pen world closely will have heard of this stationery store and seen the delectable beauties dreamt up in the mind of the founder, Kaoru Yamagishi. Many of their exclusive fountain pens sell out and have long wait lists and this past month, we were excited to introduce some of their special editions from the...
