Maruman Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo) is pleased to announce that its lifestyle brand "SOUZO by maruman" (hereinafter referred to as "SOUZO") will celebrate its first anniversary on July 7, 2026 (Tanabata). We express our sincere gratitude to our customers for their patronage over the past year and will be holding a 1st-anniversary campaign.

Choosing to "write" is now the most enriching experience.

While social media, videos, and generative AI have become integrated into our daily lives, a quiet yearning to "think in one's own words and record them" is growing. Amidst the resurgence of the planner boom and the re-evaluation of analog stationery, a trend questioning the "value of handwriting" in the face of digital fatigue, the lifestyle brand "SOUZO" was born.

About Maruman

Since its founding, Maruman has been committed to "paper" and aims to provide services that make everyone creative as a "Creative Support Company," operating as a stationery manufacturer and retailer.

Founded in 1920. The company began manufacturing and selling sketchbooks for children with the desire "so that children can draw their dreams to their heart's content." This aspiration remains unchanged from its founding to the present day, and the company develops paper products that expand infinite ideas starting from "writing" and "drawing." Through this, Maruman has launched many long-selling brands such as "Zuan Sketchbook" and "Croquis Book," which continue to be loved to this day. The company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020 and plans to further expand its business in the future.
