Hey, it’s Momoko. I like colors. Reds, blues, oranges, all of them. And, among them, I like neon colors the best.



I typically only wear blacks and grays, so I always want my accessories to bring that burst of vibrant color. Especially my stationery. It can’t just be showy, but has to be interesting and well designed, too.

Looking at the same, flat and cold computer screen every day is, how can I say this... well, boring. So, when my eyes drift, letting them fall on something colorful perks me up. Just like listening to some music to change your mood, I think I just feel the need to look at and touch "things" with color.

This paper file is a vibrant red with a massive ! mark right in the center. It stands out more than any other file.



I bought it thinking, “If I have this, I might come up with some great ideas!” or “This will surely come in handy for work!” But strangely enough, once I put documents into this file, I immediately forget what I put in there. I’ve started affectionately calling it my ? file.

Old stationery is irresistible, too.


I’m obsessed with my old stationery too. This was the stapler and magnifying glass I bought when I first headed out to work. A stylish but slightly difficult-to-handle business card case I inherited from a senior colleague. This Staedtler mechanic pencil and pair of scissors were bought because a designer I admired used them. These are all items I’ve been with for over 20 years, and I just can't let them go.

They’ve worn with age and have become a bit harder to use, but I love that about them, too.



I keep aaaaall of these stationery items in this Doraemon ankipan (Memory bread) pouch. When you gather a bunch of flashy things in one place, it starts to look like a toy box, which I really like. I’m truly obsessed with any stationery that makes the heart flutter with excitement.

Now, I wonder what kind of stationery the next team member is fascinated by? Look forward to it!
