“I walked by this stationery store on my way to a movie in Ikebukuro and immediately went back after the movie. I couldn't find out too much about it online, but it seems like a pretty old school shop that carries a mix of trendy stationery items alongside more retro finds like this bathroom decal I found on their basement floor. Definitely worth a dig.”

“A local stationery store on the west side of Ikebukuro that carries everything from everyday pens and notebooks to calligraphy supplies, gift envelopes (祝儀袋), seals and stamps, legal form books, kind of just everything you'd want from your local stationery store haha. Came here and surprisingly found a lot of really cute letter sets and notepads that I feel would've been harder to come across at the larger/more popular stationery shops.”
