Our First Appearance at the London Pen Show

Our notebooks will make their first appearance at the London Pen Show on 1st March 2026 through Vince’s booth.

The London Pen Show is the longest established pen show in the UK and one of the largest writing equipment events in Europe. More than 200 dealers, pen makers, and stationery suppliers gather there each year. For the fountain pen community, it is an important meeting place.

This opportunity began with a simple inquiry about future exhibition possibilities in Singapore. Through that exchange, Vince of The Turners Workshop Ltd discovered our work and expressed interest in our brand. Soon after, he decided to introduce Book Note 360 at the London Pen Show as a test launch.

We are sincerely grateful for how naturally this came together.

In Japan, we have a word — go-en (ご縁). It refers to meaningful connections that arise through timing, trust, and shared values. It is more than networking; it is a bond shaped by sincerity.

Book Note 360 debuted in December 2016. Since then, a small bookbinding factory in Tokyo has continued its journey as a notebook brand. Over nearly ten years, each step forward has grown from go-en — quiet connections that link people and ideas across borders.

From Tokyo to London, our journey continues. Craftsmanship travels through products, but it also travels through people.

If you are visiting the London Pen Show, we would be honored for you to discover our notebooks there. And for those unable to attend, Book Note 360 is also available in the UK at JAPAN HOUSE London.

We look forward to meeting the UK fountain pen community — at the show and beyond.
