In this digital era where fast typing dominates, many still quietly cherish the unique warmth of handwriting and handmade crafts, using a variety of tactile and design-forward stationery to complete daily tasks or record their own memories. In recent years, paper-based stationery has sparked a collecting craze. Whether for work, school, conveying sentiments, or gift wrapping during holidays, paper items always play a key role. Targeting the business opportunity presented by these “stationery enthusiasts,” Little Gallery has specially launched the “Summer Stationery Exhibition,” featuring nearly 300 types of stationery and paper goods from two major Japanese brands, mt and Kurashiki Artisan.

When it comes to Japan’s king of washi tape, mt, established in 1923, it is famed for making washi tape from uniquely Japanese washi paper. Their tapes are lightweight yet offer high strength, strong adhesion, and a wide range of uses. With numerous fans in Japan and even more collectors overseas, mt products are the dream items for stationery enthusiasts. mt frequently collaborates with artists and various brands in unexpected ways, becoming a globally recognized stationery brand.

Established in 1981, Kurashiki Artisan not only produces its own goods but also boasts rich experience in planning and design. It has collaborated with over 60 creators and more than 30 workshops. The product range includes 15 major categories and thousands of items, from small desktop stationery to large home decor and furniture. For this exhibition, Kurashiki Artisan brings nearly 20 unique creations by various creators, including washi tape, patterned stickers, envelope sets, ceramic stamps, postcards, cat-themed memo rolls, coasters, and more.

The Summer Stationery Exhibition offers a rich variety of items, including washi tape, patterned stickers, office paper products, and more, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate the delightful possibilities of stationery and paper goods. Don’t miss the chance to spend a summer afternoon at Little Gallery and add a touch of wonderful joy to your life.
