Why did I go to Japan? Well, in addition to the “fun” aspect of the trip, I had business reasons, and they arrived over the weekend! In addition to a massive restock of Yamamoto Paper and the arrival of the first part of our Wonderland222 shipment, I received a ton of multi pens, gel pens, and mechanical pencils direct from Japan. These include an expanded selection of Uni Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencils, additional Pilot S20 mechanical pencils, and new Pilot 4+1 Multi Pens.
There are many more items that have been added or restocked that are not specifically listed below, including all of the NJK Long Point Pencil sharpeners, NOLTY notebooks and paper, Soolla Studio Pouches and more. New items will be added regularly in the coming months, so stay tuned!
In addition to shopping our online store, you can see these and more in our Nashville shop, which is open from 1-6pm Thursdays and Fridays, and from 10am-5pm on Saturdays.
Wonderland222 Notebooks and Undated Planner Inserts. If you’re a fan of this past year’s Wonderland222 paper, which is a thin 52gsm paper they sourced as a substitute for Tomoe River, we have purchased a supply of those notebooks in both dot grid and grid/graph format. We also have slim A5 planner inserts. I have been using this paper for the past year in my planner and have been very happy with it.
Yamamoto Select Premium Japanese Papers. We have a fresh shipment of various Japanese papers offered by Yamamoto, sold in packs of 50 A4 sheets. Yamamoto gets creative in sourcing some VERY rare papers for this collection, which now includes Tateyama, Meringue, and more.
Yamamoto Paper Samplers. Looking to try three or more papers at once? These samplers each contain three pads of different sizes, grouped by characteristics such as eggshell, silky, or onionskin texture. New volumes are available for certain releases.
Yamamoto Bullet Jotter Refill Pads. Bible-sized Jotter pads are back in stock in all variants, including Canopus. These pads can be used alone, but are designed to fit the Yamamoto Bullet Jotter. Many people use these in combination with a Bible-size 6-ring binder and punch holes in the paper.
NOLTY PAGEM B6 Free Log Planners. These books feature excellent dot grid paper and can be used as an undated planner or a notebook. NOLTY is a Japanese brand that I’ve only recently discovered, and look forward to expanding our offerings soon.
Pilot 4+1 Wood Multi Pens (New Colors!). The first pens from my Japan travels have arrived, and they include four gorgeous new releases in the Pilot 4+1 format. These pens feature the Acroball low-viscosity refills and are also compatible with the Uni Style Fit Gel Cartridge.
Pilot ILMILY Nuance Black Gel Pens. These might be the answer to my quest for the best black-infused everyday gel pen. These dark gel pens were developed for the professional and student market, and feature seven subtle, understated colors in a .5mm tip size. Refills are also available.
Uni Kuru Toga Wood Mechanical Pencils. My favorite Kuru Toga yet (and yes, that includes the Dive). The wood grip on these pens is extremely comfortable and I love the look of the wood grain on the pencil.
Uni Kuru Toga Metal Mechanical Pencils. My second favorite Kuru Toga release, the Kuru Toga Metal features a textured anodized aluminum barrel in three darker colors.
Pilot S20 Ballpoints and Mechanical Pencils (Including New Colors!). These classic Pilot ballpoints and mechanical pencils are back in stock, with the pencils now available in three additional colors: Black, Mahogany, and Natural Brown, to match the Legno 2+1 Multi Pens.
