Two more pen fairs in Japan

[mke]

The company who owns the Japanese pen magazine 趣味の文具箱 has a side hustle, selling stationery.

They have a stationery festival coming up in July: 2025/7/19-20.

But you have to buy tickets to go there. Start of tickets are April 14th, 12:00 JST.

You certainly know that there are two major pen fairs in February (Mitsukoshi) and March (Maruzen).

Mitsukoshi-Isetan Holdings also own the department store Isetan and in May 21~27 you will find a new pen fair at Isetan Shinjuku.

It seems that a number of well-known pen companies are coming, among them CdA, Sailor, TWSBI, Visconti, and others. Probably a lot of stationery companies are joining in too.

I haven't seen yet the notice on their homepage, I guess it will be only shortly before the event. Best to call them and ask.

While searching for a link to the Isetan pen fair, I found an overview of the February Mitsukoshi stationery fair:

So, you can see what you might be able to see on the Isetan fair.
