Hello everyone! Christine here with an exciting announcement! On Thursday, April 6th, starting at 5:30pm, we'll be hosting our first Stationery Swap and Journaling Meetup at Yoseka Stationery! This event has two parts to it -- the Stationery Swap part and the Journaling Meetup part. I'll elaborate on both below. The Stationery Swap is partly inspired by the online stationery community and the common practice within that community of "destashing." When you destash, you share supplies you no longer use with others to make room for more things you will use. It's a great way to creatively recycle your supplies and give new life...

We are so happy to announce that our shop will be a stop along the route of the TRAVELER'S Stamp Caravan across the states this year! The Stamp Caravan is a set of stamps designed by TRAVELER'S COMPANY. It is usually found in their flagship store, the TRAVELER'S FACTORY, in Nakameguro, Japan, and it’s for anyone to decorate their journals and write down special memories for each visit. This year, TRAVELER'S COMPANY is sending their Stamp Caravan on a tour around the world, starting off in Europe at the beginning of 2023.  From March to September of this year, the Caravan will be touring different states and shops, giving...

Pilot Vanishing Point is one of the world's most recognizable fountain pens and certainly one of Yoseka's most popular fountain pens. Released in 1963 by Pilot as the "world's first capless fountain pen," the Vanishing Point has a long history and in the decades since its release, Pilot has since designed a number of different models and different bodies for their Vanishing Point series, all of which house the same nib unit.  For more information on Pilot Vanishing Point models and a look at the history of capless fountain pens, be sure to check out our YouTube video: Pilot Vanishing Point...

In our latest VP fountain pen, we made a new template to help us standardizing the line comparisons in new videos, and they are available for free to download now : ) The first line comparison video on Sailor was made in February 2021, when our shop remained closed due to Covid. In our early videos, we used COPIC Multiliner in 0.1mm, 0.2mm, etc to compare the exact line width. It was important for us to start a standard and do them correctly, and that’s what this Yoseka Nib Log is designed for. On our website, you can find the...

Hello everyone! Join me and Ashley for this week’s episode of Catching Up. We are excited to share with everyone our Yoseka Nib Log Template, which we used for the first time in our latest Vanishing Point Nib and Line Comparison video. Hope it’s a useful tool for everyone at home logging their own nib sizes and wanting to compare with new nib sizes they might be shopping for. Look out for that very soon on our website. In newly added this week, we have new Sailor pens from their new Tequila Cocktail Pro Gears to Sailor Mini Rencontre; beautiful...

Happy March everyone! In February, we held our Traveler's Diner event and welcomed many of you into the shop for some nostalgic diner-themed fun. This past month, we also had quite a few team members out and traveling. May even did a vlog while she was in Seoul of a visit she took to Dominant Industry's shop to mix some custom ink colors. Many more YouTube videos were filmed including our latest feature: Pilot Vanishing Point Explained! and Swatch with Yoseka featuring the entire collection of Kobe Inks by Nagasawa. During all the hustle and bustle of events, trade shows,...

Arguably one of the most iconic and recognizable fountain pens in the world is the Pilot Vanishing Point. In our shop, customers ask to see and write with this pen all the time and it's always fun seeing how people react to seeing the retractable nib.  A Brief Background of Pilot Vanishing Point Released in 1963, Pilot launched the Pilot Capless with claims that it was the world's first capless fountain pen, thus its name in Japan, "Capless." In the US, this fountain pen is known as Vanishing Point. Of course, as with many boasts of historical "firsts," there were actually some predecessors...
