The newly opened “MARK’STYLE Azabudai Hills” is a flagship design gift store handled by Marks, a global manufacturer of design stationery and miscellaneous goods under the theme of “Bringing comfort to the world with the wonderfulness of Japan.”
This is the first directly managed store since we joined the group of Pilot Corporation Co., Ltd., a comprehensive writing instrument manufacturer, in January 2023. Under the theme of “MARK’S meets PILOT”, we will have a lineup of products centered on “writing things” and “writing things” = writing instruments and writing media as a showcase that embodies the synergy between MARKS and pilots.
In addition to the supreme maki-e fountain pen “Namiki” and the world’s first capless fountain pen “Capless”, there is a showcase corner with a selection of high-end writing instruments made by pilots such as “Custom” and “Timeline”, and we have a wide range of writing instruments that will satisfy a wide range of users, from beginners to serious users.
In addition, at the “Writing Instrument Counter”, where a pen concierge who is familiar with writing instruments is stationed, you can choose the perfect one for you from among the many writing instruments while taking your time to try and write. As an opening event, we are also planning a free event for fountain pen “pressure measurement” and “personalization” services.
In addition to notebooks, notebooks, and other writing media using Marks’ original notebook paper NEO AGENDA, which has a high-quality and smooth writing feel, we have accumulated high-quality and valuable products that design “clothing, work, and housing” comfortably, including art, interiors, and fashion goods. We have the perfect selection of elements for gifts for your loved ones and yourself, and we are looking forward to welcoming you from home and abroad.
