The Christmas mood is over, and there are only a few left to leave this year. I have just started to write a New Year's card, but the time to write a message with my favorite fountain pen is a blissful time.

The Enuchi editorial department, which has many stationery enthusiasts, including the author, has been paying attention to a number of stationery items this year. Therefore, along with "2014 Popular Stationery Best 10" announced by Mr. Dai Ishizu, who is the owner of the stationery store "Stationery Market Namba Walk" (Namba, Osaka) and is active in TV and magazines as a "stationery sommelier". Let's look back on the stationery situation this year. ◆ "Top 10 most popular stationery in 2014" by stationery sommelier Dai Ishizu

1st place Pentel "Orens" 540 yen


Among the mechanical pencils that do not break the core, which I have compared with my previous pencil, the Orens has achieved an ultra-fine writing taste of 0.2 mm. The idea of writing without putting out the core was a shock to me.

2nd place Zebra "Delguard" 486 yen


The mechanical pencil, which is characterized by a structure that protects the core even after that, is ranked in. It has a structure that guards the core against various pen pressures and angles. It's an era when mechanical pencils can't be broken anymore ...

3rd place Pilot "Friction Iroen Pitsu" 1,080 yen


"Erasable ballpoint pen" A colored pencil that disappears when rubbed, which appeared in the "Friction" series. The "friction stamp " that disappears when rubbed from this series was also released in December, and I'm looking forward to future developments!

4th place Casaros "File Note Cover" from 3,240 yen


A notebook cover with a variety of inner pockets released by a manufacturer in Osaka. If you use optional items, you can cover report pads, loose-leaf notebooks, and university notebooks in multiple ways.

5th place KOKUYO " Harinax Press " 1,188 yen


A stapler that does not require needles and can be bound without making holes in the paper. I actually tried using this in the editorial department, but I felt the evolution of stationery with the crimping force without complaint.

The 6th and lower ranks are as follows.

6th place Pilot fountain pen "Kakuno" 1,080 yen
7th place Beverly sticky note "Cocosus" from 388 yen
8th place HariMouse Tape Cutter "Harimouth" 756 yen
9th place Shachihata Personal information protection glue " Kespeta " 324 yen
10th place Platinum fountain pen "Fountain pen # 3776" 10,800 yen

“2014 was the year when the revolutionary stationery products were born. It was a year in which Japan's technological capabilities and evolutionary ideas were condensed to make the world's number one stationery powerhouse even more impressive,” says Ishizu. He seems to be involved in many product productions himself. I would definitely like to visit the store next year, where there is a stationery sommelier that will choose the stationery that suits the customer's needs!
