Shogado is a Kyoto-based Japanese stationery manufacturer that produces Japanese books such as goshuincho (stamp books), pencil cases, origami paper, etc. While inheriting the traditional techniques of Kyo-Yuzen, they offer a wide variety of Japanese stationery that reconstructs traditional patterns with modern color schemes and designs.

All of Shogado's Japanese stationery is made in Japan, using Yuzen washi paper that has been carefully dyed by hand. The washi paper is sourced from Echizen (Fukui Prefecture) and other washi-producing areas in Japan. The Yuzen washi paper is gorgeously dyed by Kyoto artisans, who have been involved with the company since it was founded in 1964, using multiple dyeing stencils to layer colors, giving it a texture, shine, and presence that cannot be expressed with regular printing.

Shogado's Japanese stationery is designed to convey the Japanese aesthetic and be accepted not only in Japan but also overseas. With a wide range of colors from calm to vibrant, you're sure to find a design that suits your taste.

Do you keep the lucky fortune slip you drew at a shrine in your wallet or bag?
Because these are important words, I want to store them away properly and carry them around with me.
The "Yuzen Washi Fortune Bag" is perfect for such occasions.

Made using traditional Yuzen washi paper, the palm-sized bags are like little amulets.
Traditional Japanese patterns expressed in elegant color schemes, combined with the soft texture of Japanese paper, will add color to your everyday life.

"Kyoto Yuzen paper" is carefully handcrafted by artisans in Kyoto, one sheet at a time.
Using a technique similar to silkscreen printing, one plate is prepared for each color in a design, and pigments are printed one color at a time.
The layering, brilliance, and depth of color created by hand dyeing is a special texture that cannot be achieved by machine printing. Another attractive feature is that the colors do not fade easily because pigments are used.

The finishing process involves a kneading process and the application of natural washi paper reinforcing material to improve water resistance and abrasion resistance.
The unique crumpled texture and modern use of color add an accent that allows you to enjoy tradition in a modern way.

The inside is lined with a smooth cloth. Even the parts you can't see are elegantly tailored.
The long, loose string looks like a small dangling charm when hung from the handle of your bag.

It contains not only fortune-telling slips and shrine charms, but also your favorite idol goods, photo stickers, and small pictures drawn by your children - "jinxes" that will brighten your spirits.

Once they have completed their purpose, the fortune slips and amulets are gently removed from the bag and taken to the shrine with gratitude.
If you bring a new wish inside each time, this small bag will become a part of your daily life forever.
A quiet place for your precious things.

The delicate texture of washi paper, Japanese motifs, and the warmth of artisanal handiwork.
