Over the past century, the company has evolved into one of Japan's most beloved stationery brands, renowned worldwide for its exceptional notebooks and creative paper products. Our proprietary Maruman Original Paper (MPS) has been specially developed to meet the diverse needs of artists, writers, students, and professionals alike.
