MABATAKI NOTE

About 'MABATAKI NOTE'

In 2013, Artist Yasuhiro Suzuki and Fukunaga Print Co., Ltd began working together to develop a new line of products that lead to a 'rediscovery' of everyday paper commodities. This collaboration has resulted in such products as 'MABATAKI NOTE' which promotes making notes and sketches in fragments, 'Paper Leaf' which you decide how to use yourself, and 'Parapara House Flip Pad' which is a flip animation note pad in the shape of a room. Now, with the latest release 'UP / DOWN Coaster' in June 2014, comes the launch of the 'MABATAKI NOTE' Project, creating paper products that awaken your memory.
