Born from Overseas Fan Voices! Cross-Border Stationery EC 'ZenPop' to Release Farm-Themed Stationery Box 'Ranch Craft' on Friday, May 1.

ZenGroup Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka) announced that 'ZenPop', its cross-border e-commerce service for overseas stationery, will begin selling a stationery subscription box themed 'Ranch Craft' from Friday, May 1, 2026.

This box was planned in response to requests from overseas fans who wanted 'horse-themed items'. It is a creative set packed with motifs symbolizing a farm, such as horses, sheep, and cows, and elements of crafting like drawing, cutting, pasting, and folding. Through a peaceful worldview that connects with nature and animals, it delivers time to calmly engage in creation in daily life.

May Box: About Ranch Craft

'Ranch Craft' is a box that allows users to feel the unique texture of stationery and the joy of creation, with motifs of farm animals and idyllic landscapes.

This box was born from the voices of fans in the ZenPop community who expressed a desire for 'horse items'. Overseas, especially in North America, where many of ZenPop's main users are located, horses have been deeply connected to people's lives and culture. Even today, they are loved as close partners through horseback riding, leisure, tourism, and therapy.

In addition to animal motifs like horses, sheep, and cows, items such as origami and watercolor brush pens are selected that can be used for journal decoration, journaling, and watercolor expression.

Featured Items (Partial Introduction)

1. Toyo Animaru! Origami This is an origami set where you can fold and display farm animals. It comes with a farm background sheet, so by arranging the folded animals, a peaceful farm landscape spreads out. It is engaging enough for adults to get absorbed in, and can be enjoyed by folding and displaying, or by cutting the origami and pasting it into planners or notebooks as journaling material.

2. Kuretake Kuretake Fudegokochi Water Brush Pen mini Medium Celise This item allows you to draw the sky and grasslands of the farm, and the expressions of the animals with soft watercolor techniques. Since it uses water, no brush washing is required, making it easy to enjoy watercolor painting anywhere. Combined with the included 'Pastel' set, you can also try blending and mixing colors. It is also recommended for those who wanted to start watercolor painting but felt troubled by the preparation and cleanup.
