Bungu Joshi Haku
文具女子博
One of Japan's largest stationery fairs, held as a main winter fair, fairs in Tokyo and Osaka and pop-ups in department stores.
Bungu Joshi Haku is a stationery fair that its organizers bill as one of the largest in Japan. Stationery makers, newer brands and specialty shops sell directly to visitors, who can handle the items, buy them on the spot and talk to the makers.
History
The first fair was held in December 2017. The organizers now run a main fair each winter, a yearly fair in Osaka, a fair in Tokyo and smaller pop-ups in department stores around the country.
How the fair works
The large fairs bring more than 50,000 items, some of them made only for the event. Visitors collect what they want and pay together at a central checkout.
The Osaka fair and the 2026 Niigata pop-up have pages of their own.
