Meeting companions at the 2024 International Tokyo Pen Show

Some words after the wonderful event

Just got back from the Tokyo Pen Show 2024 @tokyopenshow, and it truly is a paradise for pen lovers worldwide—a must-visit for any stationery enthusiast!

The show gathered brands and artisans from around the globe, showcasing unique fountain pen designs, stunning inks, and intricately handcrafted writing tools. It felt like stepping into a world brimming with creativity and craftsmanship.

Laban Pen officially entered the Japanese market this summer, and we were thrilled to participate in such a grand event. It was terrific to share Laban's creations, exchange production experiences with skilled artisans, and hear visitors' feedback.

Perhaps the Japanese word "なかま (nakama)"—meaning "companions or comrades"—best describes the feeling. We all share a deep love and appreciation for stationery and the art of writing.

Being in Japan, a country with a culture that values these things, and connecting with many experts is humbling and inspiring. We return home from this year's Tokyo Pen Show with cherished finds, boundless inspiration, and beautiful memories.

If you're a pen lover, this show is worth a visit in person. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
