InCoWriMo (International Written Correspondence Month) is almost upon us, and we’re actively adding products to our Written Correspondence Section of the shop. We’ve recently received new letter sets from Kakimori, as well as looseleaf papers from Kakimori, Yamamoto (Canopus!), Graphilo, and Nakabayashi, so we have you covered for all your letter writing needs. We’ve also added a bunch of Pilot Pens recently, including many of their specialty nibs. (If you’ve listened to the most recent episode of On the Paper Trail, you’ll hear why, and you can probably guess from the picture above.) Finally, we stocked up on TWSBI Pens in medium and broad nibs in advance of last weekend’s nib grinding event with Matthew Chen, which unfortunately got compressed to a single day due to the weather but at least we’re restocked!

Colorful Kakimori Envelopes, just in time for InCoWriMO!

Many of you have asked about how our shop fared during the recent snow and ice storm, and I’m happy to report that despite losing heat, power, and water, all of our inventory and both spaces emerged unscathed. That said, our building remains a work in progress, and it is not possible for us to open before Saturday. We greatly appreciate everyone who has shown support by placing online orders, and we plan to be caught up on shipping shortly. Please do not come by attempting to pick up orders before Saturday, as there are crews on site performing cleanup and repairs to other parts of the complex.

Kakimori Letter Writing Sets. Looking for letter sets? These B5 letter sets feature a simple Kakimori motif on the header, and come in two different papers, Shinkyushi and Conqueror Laid. These sheets will fold three times to fit the Kakimori envelopes.
Kakimori Envelopes. These envelopes come in five colors and will fit the Kakimori letter sheets or similarly sized papers.
Yamamoto Canopus Paper. We have a fresh shipment of Yamamoto Canopus paper in A5 notebooks, A4 looseleaf sheets, and Bullet Jotter pads.
Pilot Custom 912 Fountain Pens. After the Custom 74, the Pilot Custom 912 has become a favorite from Pilot’s standard lineup, mainly due to the specialty nibs such as the PO (Posting) and WA (Waverly).
CDT x Pilot Frixion 3 Multi Pen. If there was one takeaway from our recent trip to visit Pilot, it’s the growing popularity of the Frixion line of pens. These erasable gel pens are surprisingly good, and we’re glad to have stocked the Craft Design Technology special edition that CDT produced with Pilot.
Diplomat Viper Fountain Pens. The popular Diplomat Viper fountain pens and rollerballs are back in stock in all colors! This modern take on the classic hooded nib fountain pen is hard to keep in stock, especially the green.
Diamine Ink Restock. We recently received a huge restock of Diamine Ink from the standard and 150th Anniversary line. We even have the new “Lady Grey” in both sizes.
Toyo Steel Boxes. We have Toyo Steel boxes available, in new colors that include orange and glacier blue. Boxes with similar footprints are stackable.
TWSBI Serpentine Fountain Pens. TWSBI has been very low on the Serpentine fountain pens, and it’s unclear when they will be making more available for purchase.
Braun Desk Clocks. We have a fresh shipment of Braun alarm clocks which make great travel alarms as well as wonderful desk accessories. Available in multiple colors and sizes.
