About Us

What We Do

Founded in 1938, we are a bookbindery in Tokyo. We began by producing catalogs and printed materials for brands and businesses.
Today, we create refined stationery and custom paper products using our binding expertise. From simple notebooks to complex folding that machines alone cannot achieve, we bring new ideas to paper—through deep knowledge of materials and process.

Craftsmanship

A product is not made by one person. It is built step by step—cutting, binding, and finishing. Each process requires care and skill.
By combining the hands and knowledge of our craftsmen,each piece comes together with precision.

Community & Environment

We are based in Sumida, Tokyo—a place with a long history of manufacturing. Working alongside local makers, we think about what we can do for the community and the environment.
We continue our craft with respect for both, and carry it forward into the future.
