Tombow is one of the most famous stationery brand in Japan.
For their 100th year anniversary, their most popular products MONO (eraser) and PIT (stick glue) wears beautiful 10 colors.
These ones’ basic “costume” are based on blue. I got bright pink hologram colors.
I am using these products from my childhood. I love these and hope I can get and use these easily forever!

I have been looking for small and good smartphone stand, the darkest place is under the candlestick. I found a recycled wood-waste stand at MUJI.
This walnut stand is very simple and made in Japan carefully, four corner edges are rounded off and easy to have a look at displays.

I got a very cute tea cup from my friend as a Christmas present.
She got it by Claska that is a fancy general store in Shibuya.
