Meet the Makers

Paper Message is my absolute favorite stationery store in the entire world. It was started by a printing company in Kochi where the first store opened in 2009 to convey the fun and possibilities of paper and printing to as many customers as possible. I stumbled upon it during our visit in 2017 and fell immediately in love. In 2012 a store was opened in Kichijoji, Tokyo, (the absolute cutest neighborhood in Tokyo) where the store offers a variety of paper-related services, including the sale of original products and custom printing. Each store is like a stationery lovers dream and designed in a whimsical fantastical way. The design of the Pink Moon Goods is very much inspired by my visits to Paper Message.

Artist Okubojunko began working as a freelance illustrator and designer in her teens. Since 2010, she has been involved in planning, illustrating and designing paper goods for Paper Message. She is also involved in a variety of other activities, including live events with musicians, animation production, picture books and venue decorations.
