The long but short summer vacation is quickly coming to an end and a new school year is starting or has started already. Have you prepared your new stationery yet? As many of you know, we have a great selection of high quality Japanese stationery at Maido. In this week, we will focus mainly on stationery, but we will also introduce some other goods that may be useful at schools and offices. We hope you will find something you are interested in. You can get all the items at the store, and some items on our online store as well. We can ship all the online store orders within the U.S.A., so you can purchase some items for your kids in different states for college, or your relatives and friends that live far away from you and get them shipped! Or, you can order some items for yourself online for pickup, and come in to the store without spending time to look for them there!
