King Jim Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Miyoko Kimura) has launched its first stationery series aimed at 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 inbound foreign tourists to Japan has been on an upward trend, making Japan one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. In addition, demand for Japanese stationery as souvenirs has increased significantly due to its precise design and rich variety. Targeting this expanding inbound market, King Jim has launched the stationery series 'Japan Design Collection'. This series features items that combine Japanese aesthetics with practicality. In the first phase, we will release the 'Ohashi Ballpoint Pen', 'Card Wallet', and 'Privacy Roller'.
The 'Ohashi Ballpoint Pen' is a ballpoint pen with a motif of disposable chopsticks, a symbol of Japanese food culture. In addition to its unique appearance, it is designed so that you can enjoy origami, a traditional Japanese culture, by folding the included chopstick wrapper along the guides. There are 5 designs in total, including Mt. Fuji and a crane, and once completed, it can be used as a chopstick-rest-style pen rest.
The 'Card Wallet' is a palm-sized card case that can hold about 15 cards. Because it secures the contents with an elastic band, it always maintains an appropriate thickness according to the storage volume. Inside, it comes with 2 indexed dividers, making it possible to sort cards. We expressed traditional Japanese patterns with gold and silver foil stamping to give it an elegant impression.
The 'Privacy Roller' is a roller-type personal information protection stamp, which is in demand overseas to hide personal information. For the stamp face, we adopted motifs popular among foreign tourists visiting Japan, such as Mt. Fuji, sushi, and ninjas, expressing a Japanese feel and playfulness.
Through the introduction of the 'Japan Design Collection', King Jim intends to enter the inbound market.
