: 
“Bungu” — once just a Japanese word for stationery — is starting to appear more often in global design conversations, trend reports, and even social media.
It’s becoming a shorthand for a certain kind of Japanese craftsmanship: tools that feel good to use, last a long time, and add a little intention to everyday life.
Today, Japan’s stationery scene continues to evolve, offering both nostalgic pieces that capture the charm of the past and forward-thinking designs that embody the spirit of modern Japan.
Let’s explore a few brands and collections that show just how wide and wonderful the world of bungu can be.
Before we get started, here’s something you won’t want to miss.
