Bungu Joshi Haku Stationery Festival Osaka

After a successful run in Yokohama last December, one of Japan’s largest stationery fairs is setting up in Osaka for a special four-day event. With the theme ‘Today’s Stationery Look’ (loosely translated from Japanese), visitors are encouraged to mix and match their stationery selection as they would an outfit to suit their mood.

That’s easy to do, as the festival will feature an overwhelming variety of pens, notebooks, stickers, stamps, masking tapes and more, available in every imaginable colour, size and pattern. There will be limited-edition and pre-sale items, along with collaboration merch created exclusively for the festival by some of the country’s most beloved stationery brands. Keep an eye out for the Osaka-limited items designed in collaboration with the city’s top patisserie.

Shopping aside, Bungu Joshi Haku will also host workshops and activities to enhance your shopping experience and inspire creativity. These include a masking tape ‘buffet’, a pen ‘fitting room’, custom badge workshops, and more.

Admission tickets must be purchased online in advance, and sales will close once capacity is reached.
