Japan's stationery industry is unusual: brands that started as industrial suppliers decades ago, like Kokuyo and Toyo Steel, still make some of the most refined desk tools available, alongside younger studios continuing the same standards of precision.
Kakimori, the Tokyo atelier behind our Object Index and Robinson lines, builds pens, notebooks, and travel goods around the idea that stationery should be customized and repaired, not replaced. Toyo Steel's toolboxes, pressed from a single sheet of steel in Osaka, have barely changed in design since the 1950s. Midori's MD Paper notebooks and Kamoi's mt masking tape round out a shelf built for people who write and make things by hand.
