Kobehaikei has grown into a stationery brand born from the encounter between Kobe’s printing company, Yamato Shuppan Insatsu, and designer Hitoshi Sugawara.

In November 2011, we began developing simple, unisex-designed stationery centered on the themes of “Kobe” and “writing.”

We plan, manufacture, and sell products such as CIRO, a white-ruled notebook for reading; orissi, a folding checklist note; GRAPHILO, pen-paper for smooth writing with fountain pens; and SUITO cleaning paper, maintenance paper for fountain pens, earning strong support from core stationery fans.

Beyond stationery, we are expanding into the planning and manufacture of items related to living, fashion, and interior design.
