Halloween Stationery is more than just pumpkins and skeletons. This collection of spooky stationery is a combination of Japan’s “Kawaii” and the spooky nature of ghosts and ghouls. This set is an all in one pack of tools that’ll make your designs morbidly adorable!
The devil’s in the detail is something Midori understood very well when they decided to lightly match the color or the notebooks pages to the cover. The paper uses a dotted grid making it easy to place stickers, write & illustrate to your liking. The paper is a high quality all-round type which works with any type of ink. Take note of the gold foil and binding!
Do you remember our Harajuku Haul box which featured an idol fan sticker sheet? From the same series, this time the theme is Yokai, a category of Japanese monsters. The sticker series is called “satisfying the curiosity of adults” and is inspired by encyclopedias with its cute yet realistic gold foil designs. Most Japanese don’t even know all these yokai!
A sticker set featuring a ghost! What, not enough for you? Ok, let’s try that again. A sticker set featuring a ghost ~ drumroll ~ wearing boots! The flake stickers are slightly translucent making them look different depending on where you place them. You can for example use red color to add blush strokes that will appear once placed. The watercolor pencil works wonders with these!
Imagine you’ve had a long fun evening with your friends and stumble your way home in the dead of midnight. As you take your usual route home, you see a little shop you’ve never noticed before. With a flickering light, you read the name “The Midnight Variety Store”. That’s the name of the line of stationery this black cat file folder comes from. It has a total of 3 pockets. Due to layers of transparency, the cats appear on top of what you file inside.
Tired of switching what tape you hold in your tape cutter? This handy item cuts 2 tapes with one bird.. or something. The puns don’t stop there, it’s called a “Kiritoring” (Kiritoru=cut/take) The beak of the item cuts the tape, while the wings act like a holder for your thumb. It's flexible so it’s good even if you have big hands. Specifically made for 15mm tape like the one featured in last month’s box.
Welcome to the midnight kitchen where the tea makes itself and floating gloves decorate your cake… This spectral design was dreamt up by artist a la carudou. There is a lot to love here, from the size, the texture and the gold foil stamping which is extra clear due to its deep dark blue background. A la Carudou is known for dessert designs
Enjoying watercolor on the go is a special feeling, but can often be hindered by all the equipment that often don’t have a permanent home in your bag. Introducing this postcard sized watercolor brush! No more switching and washing brushes, an all in one that can use any color you dip it in to paint. It works wonders with the UNI watercolor pencil included in the box!
Don’t mistake this as a run-of-the-mill color pencil! This is a watercolor pencil that can be used in a variety of ways. The simplest way is to dip the tip directly in water to create the watercolor effect. Another option is to first draw with the dry pencil, then use a wet brush to dilute it.
This elegant key design gives off haunted mansion energy with its sophisticated detail and monochrome aesthetic. The company behind this value set is none other than NB, a 75 year old paper company from Japan. Have fun using these as reminders, decor and more! They look especially mysterious as bookmarks. Cleis means “key” in Greek. In Japanese the word for key is “kagi”.
