Review :Mini Book Gashapon Popular Stationery Mook Collection

Mooks are a popular item found in Japanese book stores. The word is a combination of Magazine and Book. They usually come with a fairly luxurious supplement which is the main reason why people buy them.

Recently, miniatures of the popular stationery series from Takarajimasha's Mook book has been released. Since we are interested in all things stationery, we had to pick one up for a look.

Here's what we got:

A miniature version of the "Croquis Book" A4 Multi-Case MOOK

Like the original mook, it comes with a box that contains the extra as well as a thin book detailing the history of the product and other information.

The tiny book actually contains the same pages as the original item!

Unfortuantely, the special extra which is an "A4 multi-case" from the real size mook has not been reproduced. Instead we get a plastic reproduction that does not open up.

However, it looks just like a croquis book and features cute cat illustrations by popular illustrator Midori Asano. [like the original]

Here is the full lineup.

As someone who loves miniatures and stationery, I bought it almost immediately.

I look forward to buying the rest of the collection.

Zebra Delguard Mechanical Pencil: Moomin Edition

 

I love the moomin series so I was pleased to see this collab from Zebra.

The series has 6 colours but the clear one was the only one left when I spotted it. 

To be honest, I think it's the prettiest one. 

Delguard is a mechanical pencil so it's pretty straighforward. 

Let's talk about the aesthetics. 

Moomin fans will love this, the clear body of the pencil with the neutral-ness of the Moomin graphics is very pleasing. 

 

The pencil takes 0.5mm lead and is nice to hold and use. 

If you like Moomin, you should look out for this.

Review: Oitoco Sticky notes case

I love thin film fusen [sticky notes] over highlighting a book. However, though its small and easy to store, they end up getting dirty or damaged in my pen case.

I have tried storing them inside pockets in my diary or folder but it can be a bit troublesome to fish them out to use.

Recently, Oitoco released a case just for storing them~ 

The design is simple and sleek.

Case size: W19 x D11 X H114mm

It is shorter than a standard pen and will fit in a pencil case easily.

Since its quite long, you can fit two types next to each other [as shown in picture]

Max size of sticky notes it can fit : 9mm x 50mm with a max thickness of 1.5mm

A simple and effective solution to the problem I have been having.
