Map Design GALLERY, a stationery and goods brand by Zenrin Co., Ltd., will be participating in the Stationery Girls Expo in Osaka 2026 — one of Japan's largest stationery festivals — from March 5 to 8, 2026. The booth will feature event-exclusive stationery items styled after Western antique maps, with the Kinki region as the design motif, along with other map-themed goods.
Sophisticated Antique Map-Style Stationery Making Its Debut
Stationery inspired by a Western antique map aesthetic, applied to contemporary maps, is being introduced for the first time at this event. The lineup features a calm, sophisticated color palette with an upscale finish — including a B6 ring notebook with a special metallic-textured cover that complements the overall design. These items are centered around the Kinki region, which includes Osaka, the host city of the expo.
