Life Japanese Paper

The Life Stationery Company was established just outside of Tokyo in 1946 and has since remained dedicated to producing handmade Japanese paper of remarkable quality. Using simple tools ameliorated by decades of refined expertise, fewer than 40 sets of hands continue to create the original Japanese stationery for fine paper correspondence and daily use notebooks.

For letter writing, the original designs of Life's Japanese paper and envelopes are as endearing as the quality, truly a gift to the lucky recipient. From typewriter paper, to airmail paper and bank paper, there is a genuine dedication to utility that ensures a permanence of quality, something that will last. For daily use, Life's notebooks and exercise books are a gift to their lucky user. Though simple, they offer reassuring quality and truly individual personality.

A visit to the Life Co. workshop, nestled so centrally amidst the mechanised modernity of 21st century Japan, is quite an experience! Like an oasis of artisanal craftsmanship, it is staffed by dedicated experts committed to making the best Japanese stationery.
