KUNISAWA
A Shimbashi-born stationery brand that brings the feel of paper and ink into daily work.
KUNISAWA is a stationery brand launched in 2017 by Kawachiya Co., Ltd., known for special printing, processing, and letterpress. From notebooks and memos to files and leather accessories, the lineup is designed to keep everyday work tools calm, tidy, and satisfying to use.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
KUNISAWA is created by Kawachiya, based in Shimbashi, Tokyo. The company has refined expression through paper and ink—special printing, processing, and letterpress—and brings that know-how into tools for daily work.
The concept is “I do not seek, I find.” It values the moment of discovery over chasing ideas. The logo is inspired by Yatagarasu, the three-legged crow, with its three legs representing heaven, earth, and humanity—and the image of guiding light toward the future.
At the center are notebooks that make paper choice part of the experience. “FIND NOTE SOFT” uses 5 mm grids and stays flexible enough to roll. “FIND NOTE HARD” uses Passepied paper and is designed as an idea notebook for fountain pens, inviting slower, careful writing.
Memos and portable tools are equally considered. “FIND BLOCK MEMO” uses a 2.5 mm grid for compact, information-dense notes. “FIND POCKET NOTE” uses Foolscap paper to keep writing feel consistent on the move. Pair them with the leather memo cover, and your ideas can travel neatly with you.
Launched in 2017, built on Shimbashi craftsmanship
KUNISAWA was created by Kawachiya, bringing experience in printing, processing, and letterpress into everyday stationery. The brand focuses on both practicality and the quiet beauty of paper and ink.
A guiding phrase: “I do not seek, I find.”
The concept is inspired by the well-known phrase attributed to Picasso: “I do not seek, I find.” You can sense it in the spacing, the ruling, and the shapes that encourage clear thinking.
Choose paper character with the “FIND” series
“FIND NOTE SOFT” uses 5 mm grids and can be rolled for flexible use; it received the GOOD PRESS Award 2017. “FIND NOTE HARD” uses Passepied paper and is designed as an idea notebook specifically for fountain pens. “FIND BLOCK MEMO” features a fine 2.5 mm grid for dense notes.
Leather accessories that keep your carry neat
