About Us : The Stationery Selection

 

Hello and Konnichiwa from Tokyo, Japan! 

My name is Mitsuko, but many call me, "Mits".  

Originally from Canada, when I moved to Japan, I fell in love with the quality stationery goods that the shops were offering here.  I wanted to share the stationery items with fellow friends worldwide and decided to start a stationery subscription service.

I started with 20 stationery boxes back in 2017 and now, many years later, I continue to ship our stationery boxes all over the world. I  initially started with just a monthly subscription service, but I have slowly expanded to offering some of my stationery favorites for purchase in our online + physical shop. 

I try my best to support smaller stationery companies and include their items in the boxes when I can.  Many of these smaller companies have been in the business for decades and are truly passionate about their craft and their product.  It is a great honor to be able to share these gems with friends all around the world. 

My goal is to put together cohesive stationery sets to help facilitate the love and appreciation for quality stationery goods.  Items that will help bring back bits of analogue into your daily life.  We hope that you enjoy the items and that they bring you joy. 

I am currently the only person behind The Stationery Selection, so please allow a bit of time when reaching out to me :) Thank you very much for your support!

This is a younger version of me, taken many years ago (lol)

--2026 Update--

We now have a physical shop where you can come browse and see the stationery items that I have curated for you. I also love to knit/crochet in my free time so I also have some yarn goodness in the physical shop as well.

Opening March 2026

I have created a separate Instagram for the physical shop as the items may differ from the online shop: @Gotokuji_stationerycafe

Please feel free to visit when you come to Tokyo!

(Since my hours are still up in the air, if you are visiting and want to check out the shop, please feel free to email me and I will try my best to open the shop for you)

Thank you so much for your continued support!
