It sounds crazy but one of my favourite parts about Japan was stationery shopping.
There were aisles filled with a rainbow array of pens and markers at ridiculously low prices. With my favourite Pilot pens priced at 105 yen (which is like $1.30AUD), I may have bought um, about fifteen?
And the erasable Pilot Frixion ballpoint pen I bought has definitely proven handy.
this looks like heaven and no you’re not crazy at all
Agreed. Stationary and mallshops in Japan are fantastic.
I bought a lot of art things there, .3-.5 mm leads(I have like 8-9 of them), pencils that swivel to keep the point sharp as ever, plastic erasers(black ones and white ones) because these erasers are insanely good, copic markers, white out markers, gel pens, etc. I love these stores to death. They are full of fantastic.
