★★★ Plan to turn our OEM achievements into blog posts ★★★
 A roundup blog of OEM projects handled by Ishikawa Paper Goods so far (OEM case studies / private label manufacturing / Made-in-Japan gifts wholesale for B2B importers and distributors).

With “Washi Artisans’ Handwork,” we create original products for a wide range of clients (custom Japanese crafts OEM, private-label for retailers, museum shops, and corporate gifts).

Packed with product photos that make it easy to visualize for buyers and importers.

Please take a look, and contact us when you consider a project! We’re currently developing additional OEM products.

A word from our editor — Yamashita’s Corner

Thank you as always. This is Yamashita, your newsletter editor.

So, what kind of games do you all like?

I was born under the star of motion sickness, so Smash Bros. and other 3D games knock me out in 15 minutes.

Because they don’t make me dizzy, I prefer board games and 2D games—or rather, they’re the ones I can play longer without feeling unwell… that’s all.

Anyway, I visited the Nintendo Museum. With minimal prep, I toured in the order of Shop → Hands-on → Exhibit → Games → Shop.

Twice to the shop? Oh yes—you’ll want to go a second time.

We first hit the shop since merch sells out quickly, and my travel buddies were also instantly drawn back into the shop later—no words needed.

One hands-on is one of Nintendo’s origins: a Hanafuda-making experience. I love drawing, so I went wild with colors, but in the end the classic designs are still the cutest. No no, mine shouldn’t be losing that badly… right?

A friend bought Hanafuda cards, so I’ll have to learn the rules. My knowledge level is about what you see in “Summer Wars.” Personally, I wanted a Hyakunin Isshu set, but the price scared me off.

Still, the quality was excellent. There were also huge two-person-sized controllers, Love Tester machines, and lots of coin-operated games.

I used my ten coins wisely and played a ton. Each game had a set number of coins, and I felt like a kid running their first errand—so fun.

The exhibits are irresistible for gamers, and even I—who don’t play much—really enjoyed them. They showed original design blueprints and map drafts. I wish they sold the originals as postcards.

Please do visit in person. It’s a 30-minute train ride from Kyoto Station.

Note that tickets are by lottery—heads up.

Big thanks to our “Ticket Minister,” my lucky friend B.
