However, for others it serves a deeper purpose: a good pen, pencil or notepad can inspire the creativity and emotion needed to make something different. Nobody knows that more than Sun-Star Stationery. For over 80 years, the company has grown to become one of Japan’s most beloved stationery brands, creating functional products that evoke strong feelings in their users. “Stationery is more than just a practical tool. It also expresses someone’s identity, all while adding a sense of excitement to everyday life,” said Sun-Star president Yukiyoshi Yoshimatsu. A key part of Sun-Star’s strategy for attracting customers, both old and young, has been its strong IP licensing business, with hundreds of characters handled each year. Yoshimatsu knows this will be key to attracting international fans as Sun-Star expands globally. “Ultimately, we want to become people’s favorite stationery maker,” said Yoshimatsu. “We are currently in the middle of our plan to ‘Be More Unique!’ That’s the goal we are working towards.”  ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/stationery-that-shapes-everyday-life/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/stationery-that-shapes-everyday-life/"},"headline":"Stationery That Shapes Everyday Life","datePublished":"2026-10-05T10:16:14.027Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T10:16:08.966Z","description":"Stationery That Shapes Everyday Life","url":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/stationery-that-shapes-everyday-life/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[],"articleSection":"Paid Partner Content","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/stationery-that-shapes-everyday-life/","name":"Stationery That Shapes Everyday Life"}}]}] ```
