I've been showing you around, but I wanted to switch it up in this video

Bring it inside and show you some of my favorite Japanese office supplies

Now if you've never been to Japan

You might not know that Japan has some pretty unique and interesting office supplies, and I wanted to show you

Some of my favorites in this video and to be fair some of the stuff that I'll be showing you in this video

Is more on the stationary side, but you'll see it's all pretty much in like the same realm

Okay

Okay, mommy's going to take you now

So without further ado, let me show you my favorite Japanese office supplies

number one keishi kasu cleaner

It looks like a big ipod case where you would stick your ipods in if you open it up

It has a roller here and it's made

To pick up all your eraser scraps, you can see that there's all the scraps there

You can just take it off

just rip it off like so

Good to go. This reminds me of just like the carpet cleaner the ones you have like the bigger version of it

It doesn't stick on the paper. No, you like this one

Number two fuji sun erasers. These ones are pretty cool. It's called

Gomu, which means eraser it's actually one of the first Japanese words I learned

I think so. Yeah, the reason why these are special is because after you use them

They turn into mount fuji. So then after some time you can see right there

Starting to look like mount fuji. I think if you get a bunch of these these would be perfect gifts to bring back home

Especially younger kids that you know

Use these at school

still use erasers

Yeah, I don't know I used to use erasers, I mean do kids still use erasers, I think they still use it

We'll find out soon like so people use friction

You know in order to write you have to use friction friction is the name of the brand. Oh

Oh, it's not part of it. But this right there that is

a friction pen

Number three et gill erasers. So this one is for the people that I think are a little bit older

It's this plastic by well, it says plastic eraser

maybe the outer shell is plastic and then it says three four five and six and I think that is

an indicator to see how wide the eraser tip is and I think kids use this when

They're practicing penmanship or maybe like math or whatever and they need to get a certain

Width of erasing done instead of just whatever using like a broad stroke like this fuji one. They need to be very very

Precise when you're racing you can just go

like this

I don't know. What do you guys think useful?

or not so useful

Yeah, it's the precious part because it's easy to erase any little things yeah, yeah, this is basically made up corner

Yeah, it's not like just like a rounded blunt object. This is a very precise tool like if you're if you're a professional eraser person

This is what you would use

number four

Wearable memo. All right, so check

this out what this is is a

Ruler, there's actually four different types that you can get

Some of them have like a grid and then some of them have lines. I think the grid is for maybe people that like

Need to take notes or write like in kanji. Anyways, they have that. That's correct

No, because you know you want to write in boxes

And what's special about this

It's like a really hard almost like plastic rubber material so you can actually use a marker. I got your

Standard zebra marker, it's funny how that they call it

maki

I think it's Mcdonald's but they call it a big mac. So it's Mcdonald's. No, but Mcdonald's is different. You don't fly

Back let's Mcfly. I don't know I'm confused now

Mcfly

Mcdonald's which one is right anyways, so basically you snap it like this on your arm and then you can right

You can't just rub it off it'll just like stay on there, uh, you can use the eraser I guess it does come off but

that comes

So I misread the directions I thought it said marker but actually it says

Pen, this is like a full real deal marker and it still like took it off pretty much except for just like a hint

So, okay. Let's try that again. There you go. Just wrote Tokyo again. So there you go. It came off

There's a slight hint of the black marker on there

So but the pen is gone so works and then you can take your notes with you just like that number five

glue

so this one is called glue and it's kind of your

Latest version of a glue stick and I thought it was quite interesting because usually you'll get glue sticks and like a cylindrical

In a circle pattern, but this one

Is almost look kind of like a lipstick case and let me just open this and show you so that right there

Is the glue stick itself you can see that it's square and the reason why it's square is if you've ever tried to glue

Paper or anything that has square edges with a circular glue stick

You can't always get the edges. But with this guy you can do you ever eat glue when you were a kid? No

Yeah, neither did I but you know, there are kids that's like a glue really? Yeah

I think they were hungry. I don't know. They just ate glue

That's what I hear before I continue on. I wanted to give a quick shout out to our sponsor Bokksu during this time

Their support makes all the difference for me

number six

mark plus

Okay. So this next one I love this one

So this one I found I thought was super super special and what you'll find

is that when you take off the lid when you look really really closely you can see

That there is two

Parts to it. There's two heads. So this is a highlighter. This is not just like a marker

So if you're highlighting text, you can quickly go back and forth over your book and you know

You can mark off different things that um different importance. So you just use it like that and then you switch it and you have

Gray and pink. They're like pink and pink like a pink and lighter pink pink gray. Yellow gray blue gray green gray purple

Gray, so people actually use gray. I think so. Yeah, I would buy like red and yellow or like red of blue

Yeah, I thought so too that might actually be but then I think they'd have just way more pens

I don't know. How would you guys use this if you got a gray and pink marker number seven post-its?

so one thing about

A lot of japanese people and when they study or if they're reading books and they want to like take notes they use these

Post-it notes. So if you ever go to an office supply store, you can see a wall of just these different types

Maiko picked out a couple of them and I picked out one that I

Personally like but there's just so many that I couldn't go over all of them in this video, but these two Maiko picked out

Right here. What's nice about these is you can actually take it off from here on this side a sticky adhesive

so if you do have a book or anything, you can actually just like put it here

And it'll stay on just like that

So whenever you need a post-it note

It's there and ready to go or if you're like me and you're just like you have a pc

Or your iphone and you just want to carry post-it notes with you

Anywhere you go if you want you can just put it on your Tokyo

T-shirts and like boom. Hey, Maiko. I wanted to make a note over there. Guess what?

I've got a post-it note. This one here is just a smaller version of it. You can see the different patterns right there

Staying organized and cute at the same time now, I thought these ones are pretty cool because they have little Japanese

Feudal characters you got a ninja

A Emperor and I think that guy's a pirate. Is that a pirate? Maiko with a eye patch with an eye patch?

Yeah, I guess he's a warrior anyways there's just so many and if you ever in an office supply store

Then definitely check out their post-it notes

number eight note yellow book comic

So this one something that Maiko really loves so we had to put it on the list and this one is a create

your own

story comic book

366 pages and like if you open it up

There's like different types of squares where you can actually just write your own or like make your own

Storybook and I guess you don't even have to use it

If you just wanted to take notes

And use it as something to bring with you at school and you want to just use that as a diary or whatever

You can use this. It's not really an office supply, isn't it? It's not office supply. It's stationary

Today I got fired from using this at work

And this is where the story begins

number nine

scrapbook cutter

this one it looks like

A toothpick or looks like a pen maybe that you would use but but in fact it is a special

Blade it's used to cut paper

It has a rotating ball or like a rotating head and let me just show you real quickly like you can go and

Go around and the head of this blade just like rotates so you can get like circular cuts and cut around stuff

Look I made a little p. It's like so easy to cut. Yeah, this little red cutter

Is pretty useful in these scrapbook situations and number ten my grip pencil

So this one was just for me a cool take on a mechanical pencil. It's a

0.5 mechanical pencil, it has your standard, you know mechanical pencil lead right there

But what's interesting about this one? Is that right here?

Is like it's a thinner shaft than the rest of the pen itself

this one actually comes with a little wrap and what's special about it is that it's kind of like, um

If you ever had a tennis racket and you have a handle and you actually wrap the handle it actually like kind of soaks up

The sweat and gives you kind of like more

Friction on the actual handle where you actually touch the mechanical pencil itself

So you just gotta have like a better overall grip when writing this piece you have like on the sides

There's like an adhesive that will come off. You just peel this right like so

Oh wow!

That's a crazy grip. Yeah, it's like a tennis racket grip. It's actually pretty cool

Oh that's grippy feel that. It's like non-slip at all. Oh, wow. Yeah. This is what i'm talking about

This would like be really really grippy, right?

And it's yeah, it's nice and like super soft and this one says wet

He doesn't say he soaks up the sweat. It says she's got already wet already moist

alright, so this one here is kind of like a dry type and even if your

Hands are wet. It should still feel dry. So yeah, this one is like super super dry

The other one feels just nicer. This one is like almost like too dry

Yeah, it is has like a sticky texture as well to it

If you wanted to you can probably even just like double it up like this and do like different combinations.

So,yeah, pretty cool
