Japan's Paper Culture (156 comments)
Regarding JetPens, they’re great at mixing valuable information with a superb product line and customer service - very rare in 2022. It’s I used to like going to brick and mortar shops in the first place. I find it’s becoming less and less common to find a salesperson that knows anything about the products they’re selling (outside of niche shops). Which means although I do try to use local shops where possible, to support them, inevitably I end up doing my own research and shopping online/elsewhere.
