With well-prepared entry points including the official stationery online shop, you can easily try a notebook that catches your eye.
Why We Love It
The classic Campus notebook. Just deciding on size and ruling makes switching between study and work use smooth. Use Harinacs to bundle stacks of documents "without holes," and switch their order as needed — great compatibility. For taping notes and fixing sticky notes, a single square GLOO. Since you can aim at corners as you apply, notebooks stay clean. On days when you want a change of mood, peeking at limited items and color variations in the official online shop is also fun.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
KOKUYO Co., Ltd. was founded in October 1905. The head office is located in Oimazato-minami, Higashinari-ku, Osaka. In Tokyo, the company has the Shinagawa office "THE CAMPUS" in Konan, Minato-ku — advancing craftsmanship across bases. Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, the company has capital of 15.8 billion yen and 7,647 consolidated employees (as of December 2024) — a scale that supports broad fields. The business covers stationery, office furniture, and space design and consulting. A company that thinks about tools and places from the same perspective.
A signature stationery name is the Campus notebook. Features shine with the everyday-use premise — such as the spine-cloth specification using laminated paper-cloth that resists tearing. Dot-ruled lines are designed so you can align line beginnings and use them as markers for figures and tables. With abundant size and ruling variations, choosing by purpose — for classes, work meeting notes, or idea notebooks — is easy. The Campus brand also offers peripheral items beyond notebooks, organizing writing time as a whole.
The lineup doesn't stop at notebooks, loose leaf, and binder peripherals. "Harinacs" — which binds paper without staples — helps when you want to bundle printouts and documents without holes. The square "GLOO" stick glue has a shape easy to apply to corners and resistant to rolling. With the combination of square glue and round cap to prevent drying, ingenuity extends to details. The small stresses on the desk are reduced through tool shapes.
For systems, customer support windows (including the main phone) and the directly managed online shop provide "after-purchase" entry points. Stationery is sold through the official stationery online shop with limited items, and personal mail order "Ouchi Counet" is also introduced. Furniture has KOKUYO Workstyle Shop with personal purchase and experience information. A natural pathway between life and work.
A 120-year accumulation in location and name
Headquartered in Higashinari-ku, Osaka. The Tokyo Shinagawa office is named "THE CAMPUS." Founded in 1905. Knowing the place and year makes the "solidity" in notebooks and furniture feel a little closer. The daily tools quietly remind us that they rest on long history. Like a journey, start by knowing the "starting point."
Ingenuity supporting Campus's "ease of writing"
Campus notebooks have features designed for long use — such as a spine with laminated paper-cloth that resists tearing. Dot-ruled lines help align line beginnings and serve as markers for table borders — a design that aids the writing flow. A feeling of "being organized" remains for both study and work. A notebook easy to make your daily companion.
Stapless and square glue — small inventions that work for daily life
"Harinacs" — which binds paper without staples — is useful for documents you want to bundle without making holes. The square "GLOO" stick glue makes it easy to apply to corners and fine details, with a shape that resists rolling on the desk. With structures preventing drying, "well thought out" accumulates each time you use it. Attention to detail tunes the work rhythm.
From stationery to spaces — the entire work toolkit
Business content includes not just stationery, but office furniture manufacturing/sourcing/sales, and space design and consulting. A company that thinks all the way to workplace design as an extension of notebooks and pens. Being able to choose tools and spaces with the same temperature is what makes KOKUYO interesting. The work landscape changes.
