Bungu Joshi Haku pop-up in Niigata was a department store edition of Bungu Joshi Haku, a stationery fair that its organizers bill as one of the largest in Japan. It was held in the event hall of Niigata Isetan in 2026.
Makers and shops sold their pens, paper, stamps and decorative tapes, and visitors could talk with the makers' staff about how their products are made. Most purchases were paid together at a central checkout.
Makers
The pop-up ran under the theme Kyo, Dore ni Suru? Bungu Kode (今日、どれにする？文具コーデ), which translates as which one today, stationery coordinates: choosing stationery to suit a mood or a season, as one would an outfit.
Forty-three makers and shops took part, among them Artemis, adesso, Anterique Stationers, irodo, Iroha Publishing, Sun-Star Stationery, Sanby, Shachihata, Delfonics, BGM, bande, GreenFlash, Yamato and World Craft. One of them, Pavilio, is a lace tape brand from Niigata Prefecture. It is made by Forwatech Japan, a seal printing company in Sanjo, and its range runs to more than 100 tapes with fine die-cut edges, foil and embossing.
