These items can be simply pasted to customize your plain notebook or diary into your “one and only,” and have gained a reputation as useful products among a very broad range of customers since their launch in April 2012. The latest additions come in three kinds: hit items named Pen Holder Sticker with pocket for title” and “Eyelets & String Sticker” in a new color, orange, three new designs for “Roll Sticker,” an d a brand-new item, “Alphabet & Numbers Sticker.”

“Pen Holder Sticker with pocket for title” is a pen holder equipped with a pocket to be attached to your notebook or diary simply by sticking it. The new color, orange, now joins the existing two, black and brown, to make a lineup of three colors. The pen holder can hold a pen up to 11mm in diameter. You can also write down a title or a date on a paper card of your choice, and insert it into the pocket, to accentuate your no tebook.

The brand-new item, “Alphabet & Numbers Sticker,” consists of stickers of alphabet letters and numbers, designed after store windows and signboards of foreign countries. The stickers come in two versions, Gold and Kraft. The Gold version employs a nostalgic, traditional font that reminds us of an old traditional barber in New York. One package contains three sheets of stickers. The Kraft version, whose gothic font is a little scratchy, comes in a pack containing three sheets, red, blue, and green. In a “frame” sticker, you can write a year, a travel destination, etc., to use as the title of a notebook. Use these items on the front cover of your notebook, and turn it into your own “signboard,” as part of the fun of customizing.
