In this digital age where fast typing dominates, many still quietly cherish the unique warmth of handwriting and handmade crafts, using various textured and design-forward stationery to complete daily tasks or record their own memories. In recent years, paper stationery has sparked a collecting craze, playing a key role in everything from work and school to heartfelt gestures or festive gift wrapping. Targeting the business opportunities presented by these "stationery enthusiasts," Xiaoqi 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.
