Japanese innovation - stationary pt 1

Japan has a lot of innovators. It never cease to amaze me what things they came up with. Some are useful and some are a waste of money. But here are some from a tv program called SmaSTATION.





Just a normal pencil sharpener?

Not really, it is eco friendly - stick it to a pet bottle which can be used to store the rubbish and re-use
Ring Mouse
Ring Mouse has on/off button, it is small, no space needed and can be used in presentation or when using laptop in car. There is also a sensor screen for navigating the cursor and right/left buttons. The price is reasonable too. Say good by to desktop mouse.

This one makes me laugh, but it does make sense

22.5 cm scissor which is 4 times longer than normal scissor
This one is for cuteness only - Ku ru ru

If you have some info or reminder you don't want other people to read - use this - write the message at the back

Then fold the memo and put it on your desk - look cute and it's high in secrecy

They have 15 shapes
Memopri
It's a label that can is wireless connected to your smartphone. Use the bluetooth and type the message on your smartphone and it will come out from Memopri. The message can be stored so it can be printed out over and over. You can also use different types of fonts.


Stick it to anywhere
Pen eraser 

To be honest, i prefer the friction pen as it does not need all the extra rubbish from the eraser
Adult's pencil - just look more sophisticated than the children's pencils
Normal scissor? Not really



Not just a normal ring..


 It can be used as bookmark, you can write on the 'diamond' part. Or you can stick it to a page with a memo, or you can use it as bag strap and put your name on it


Friction pen 3 - metal and wood
Friction pen is my ultimate favorite. I saw it last year in Tokyu Hands and I may be late, but I thought I found gold, so I bought a couple. No more pencil, eraser, no more liquid eraser, it leaves no rubbish, and japanese pen is simply best. It is genius. Now they have metal and wood version which are popular for business people.

Paper cutter
how to use the safe paper cutter - just roll it straight
Non-slip memo - So when you have to write by one hand, paper does not move
I like the next invention, I'd like to have one but it's expensive!

Tape distancer

It tells you how long to roll the tape before cutting it 

it has 7 different length
The next one is rather for vanity...sort of, it's targeted for woman

Aroma pen diffuser - Ri ro ma (you can put aroma oil into the tip of the pen
