Collection: Itoya

Itoya is a historic Japanese stationery house, founded in 1904 in Tokyo’s Ginza district, where it helped introduce Western writing tools and modern paper goods to Japan. More than a century later, Itoya is still known as a kind of stationery landmark—blending classic Japanese design sense with thoughtfully made tools for writers, artists, and everyday notebook people. 

In North America, Itoya focuses on well-made, practical tools: portfolios and notebooks, everyday pens, and the Itoya Blade “ready-to-write” fountain pen—a pre-inked, maintenance-free fountain pen with a precise fine nib that feels as easy as a ballpoint but writes with true fountain-pen character. 

At Bottle & Plume, we like Itoya for exactly that reason: they make approachable, reliable writing instruments that are perfect for tossing in a bag, lending to a friend, or keeping as your “always ready” everyday writer.
