I went to Hachimakura in Koenji♪

Hello!

I'm secretly planning to make a series of stationery store visits after submitting my work.

For paper lovers, this is an irresistible shop, Hachimakura in Koenji.

Photography inside the store was not allowed, so here are just a few shots of the exterior.

There were a few antique items outside, but inside the store it was all about paper.

Both new and old, Japanese and overseas items, the eclectic mix felt very cozy, and I was simply amazed at how much they had gathered.

The misregistration of old printed materials, the rough texture of the paper, glassine market bags, Thai Aj paper, bundles of tattered old books, strangely cute matchboxes, and so on — I was so excited I couldn't stop.

Especially the packaging and wrapping paper for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and sweets from Japan's high economic growth period — I wonder why they are so cute.

I'm not confident I can use them well, but I ended up impulsively buying things that caught my eye.

Dead stock wrapping paper, graph tracing paper, letter pads, Brazilian memos, overseas tickets.

I plan to show my face either during a shoot or somewhere else♪

Also pictured is Suntory Forest Soda.

I love it because it feels like I'm drinking the refreshing scent of the forest♪
