There's one in Ridgefield, NJ, too. They sell mostly very cute Korean notebooks.

Thank you.

Do they ship direct to the US from japan?

[manbearpig]

Where can I find a Denso notebook?

[tenney]

Since Rakuten has been bought by buy.com has that made things any easier / better in getting Japanese products here in the US?

[JoeTxMarine]

Any place in Dallas to buy Maruman?

[Felix1]

Believe Goulet Pens also started carrying the brand.

 

I like the paper but prefer micro-perforations on most everything but journals.

Does anyone know any UK sources of any Japanese (or Korean) notebooks?

Postage from the US is cost prohibitive from paper/notebooks.

I was in New York Central on Friday and they did not have the Maruman Croquis laid; they did have the other Croquis pad.

 

Kiyokuniya assures me that the laid paper pads can be ordered through them.

Sorry to have to ask this, but why is the notebook so collectible. I am already fascinated

 

Thanks

This is an obviously an older thread, but as long as i am here, I should leave something behind for the next wandering soul looking for answers:

 

Amazon: Apica Notebook Cd5 4-pack @6.29

Amazon: Apica Notebook Cd10 @$2.70 ea.

 

Also at Amazon, a range of Maruman; examples:

 

Maruman Mnemosyne Project Notepad - A4 (8.3" X 11.7") $31.18, 70 sheets

 

Maruman Mnemosyne Special Memo Notepad - A5 (5.8" X 8.3") $28.00 each, 80 sheets

Thanks Ray. I went and checked it out. I always forget that sometimes Amazon carries ALL kinds of stuff and didn't think they might carry Japanese stationary/notebooks. It looks like if you order more than $25 at JetPens, it's cheaper there. (edited for misspellings) Edited August 16, 2013 by CastleGem

For those of you who are in New Jersey/New York City, there is an amazing spot where I blew 60$ in the upon finding it in the last 10m of the store being open...

 

It is located in the bookstore (across the street from) associated with the Mitsuwa supermarket in North Jersey (595 River Road, Edgewater, NJ 07020). Go to the left back corner of the store and there is a stationary and pen shop. On their price stickers (because it has a separate checkout register) it is called "My Room USA Inc, Stationary and Gift". You can get almost anything you can get on jetpens. Campus notebooks, apica, lihit lab folders and binders....and really so much more than I can tell you about here. It is magical and I suggest you go there if you have the chance!

 

Also (semi unrelated because most of it isnt necessarily japanese): there is an office supply store in Princeton, NJ called Hinksons http://www.hinksons.com/ They carry a nice selection of pens and notebooks/stationary including Lamy pens, Clairefontaine & Rhodia notebooks, and a huge selection of planners.

 

Happy shopping!

Goulet Pens now carries Apica notebooks. www.gouletpens.com.

Another source for Kokuyo Campus notebooks is www.jbox.com (all-ages site). The selection isn't extensive, but they carry a few B5 and semi-B5 styles.
