In Japan, many would agree that stationery isn't just a mundane day-to-day necessity – it's a means of personal expression, with everything from uniquely patterned washi tapes to meticulously crafted fountain pens available for purchase. The Mitsukoshi Stationery Fair is a celebration of this, and the six day event is set to have specific areas dedicated to different products.
Gorgeous glass and wooden pens, over 1400 types of ink, paper products, stamps, and desk products will be some of the items featured at the event.
If you do plan on attending, the event hours are from 10am until 7pm daily except for the final day where the fun wraps up at 6pm. Admission to the fair is free of charge.
Getting there
The event takes place at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, which can be accessed in just a minute on foot from Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro's Ginza and Hanzomon Lines.
