About Us

I’m Mimi (ミミ), and this little shop began as a quiet dream — one that started with the rustle of paper, a favorite fountain pen, and the soft vertical lines of a journal page.

I’ve always believed that the things we use every day — a piece of stationery, a handwritten note, even a carefully chosen color — can carry meaning, memory, and comfort. Tategaki & Things was born out of that belief, and a desire to share it.

I didn’t start this as a business plan. I started it as a love letter to the way I wanted to live: slowly, intentionally, with space for beauty and softness. I wanted to create a space where others who also love writing, simplicity, and quiet design could find something that feels like home.

My hope is that each collection sparks a little moment of calm — a pause in the day, a line worth writing, or simply a smile. One day, I’d love for this shop to become a real space — a paper-scented corner where we can write, share stories, and slow down together.

Until then, thank you for being part of this dream.

With love and light,
Mimi
