King Jim Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Miyoko Kimura) is launching its first-ever stationery series for inbound tourists, the "Japan Design Collection" (https://www.kingjim.co.jp/sp/js), and will release the "Ohashi Ballpoint Pen," "Card Wallet," and "Privacy Roller" starting Friday, June 5, 2026.
In recent years, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has been increasing, making it one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. Furthermore, Japanese stationery is in extremely high demand as souvenirs due to its meticulous design and wide variety. King Jim has launched the "Japan Design Collection" stationery series to cater to the expanding inbound market. This series features items that combine Japanese style with practicality. The first release includes the "Ohashi Ballpoint Pen," "Card Wallet," and "Privacy Roller."
The "Ohashi Ballpoint Pen" is a ballpoint pen designed with the motif of disposable chopsticks, a symbol of Japanese food culture. In addition to its unique appearance, it is designed to allow users to enjoy origami, a traditional Japanese art form, by folding the attached chopstick sleeve along printed guides. There are five designs in total, including Mt. Fuji and a crane, and the finished origami can be used as a chopstick-rest-style pen holder.
The "Card Wallet" is a palm-sized card case that can hold approximately 15 cards. An elastic band secures the contents, allowing the wallet to maintain an appropriate thickness that adjusts to the number of items stored. It includes two indexes inside for easy card sorting. The design features traditional Japanese patterns with gold and silver foil stamping, giving it a splendid impression.
The "Privacy Roller" is a roller-type personal information protection stamp, a product also in demand overseas, which can conceal personal information. The stamp face features designs of Mt. Fuji, sushi, and ninjas—popular motifs among foreign tourists—expressing a sense of Japanese style and playfulness.
King Jim aims to enter the inbound market with the introduction of the "Japan Design Collection."
