Shachihata × GANNEN-DO: Event Now Underway in Malaysia

Experience the Culture of “Signs” from Japan.

From 1 March to 16 June 2025, an event showcasing Shachihata's writing instruments and decoration items is being held at the permanent exhibition space of GANNEN-DO a soba noodle restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Throughout the event period, three themed programmes are offered;

• 1st Programme (1 March – 7 April 2025): “Enjoy Journaling!! with Journal Artist”
  Visitors had the chance to explore the increasingly popular activity of journaling, using Shachihata pens and stamps.
• 2nd Programme (12 April – 12 May 2025): “Special Collaboration with KANAKO OKAMOTO”
  An exhibition of works by KANAKO OKAMOTO, an illustrator based in both Japan and Malaysia known for her book covers and picture book illustrations, was held during this period.

• 3rd Programme (from 17 May 2025): “Shachihata presents SHI RU SHI is Wonderful”
  A one-day Eraser Stamp workshop took place on 17 May.

Following that, ongoing displays allow visitors to explore Japan’s “Sign” culture through interactive areas where they can create their own marriage certificates or thank-you letters.

Throughout the entire event period, visitors can also enjoy a hands-on campaign with the colourful “Kasaneoshi Stamp”, where layered stamping creates vibrant designs.
In addition, the event features sales of “IROMOYO” stamp pads, offering 34 colours inspired by traditional Japanese shades.

We offer a variety of ways to experience “the value of the signs” that Shachihata continues to share with the world.

The event runs until 16 June — don’t miss this opportunity to experience it for yourself!
