Paper Weights

Stationery & Calligraphy > Paper Weights

Japanese Paper Weights, known as Bunchin (文鎮), are essential desk accessories with deep roots in calligraphy tradition. They hold paper steady while you write, and over centuries have become beautiful sculptural pieces in their own right.

Our collection features Nanbu Cast Iron bunchin from Iwate, with motifs ranging from auspicious animals (owl, rabbit, dragon, maneki-neko) to traditional symbols. We also offer artisan glass paper weights from Kyoto and other Japanese craft regions — each piece bringing both function and quiet beauty to your workspace.
