What is a successful stationery purchase? On what metric does one measure a successful purchase? My mind rests this week on the philosophical challenge of deciding which stationery purchases are good and which are mistakes.

Because I’ve made stationery purchases throughout the last two weeks. And asked for stationery purchases as birthday gifts. Nerdy armchair philosophizing incoming. All shared in fun.

I did it. At long last, I transported my physical person into the hallowed Yoseka Stationery shop. Where friendly staff were eager to join me in touching, swabbing and sampling basically every item in the shop. I apologize for the excited-toddler personality I brought into their lovingly curated shop.
