Tsubakuro, the team mascot adored by Swallows fans,
with his humorous expressions and playful gestures, is now one of the most popular icons in Japanese professional baseball.
That very symbol of the team, “Tsubakuro,” has become one of our Washi Korokoro figures!
The finish alone makes you feel happy just by looking at it. (Japanese handmade crafts, Mino-Washi souvenirs, gift ideas)

Mayu“mino” Diary — Days of meeting people and learning as I go
— Finding a way of working that suits me, here in Mino —
━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━…━
Up to now I’ve worked in reception, customer service, manufacturing, caregiving, clerical work, sales…
I’ve experienced many different jobs.
But in fact, “sales” itself is something I started after joining Ishikawa Paper Goods. ^^
Sales at Ishikawa Paper Goods is a little unique.
Rather than simply “selling,” every day is a bit different—planning ideas, talking with customers in the shop,
and making new proposals.
Because we’re a small team, everyone helps each other and
we move by making the most of each person’s strengths.
One thing I especially like is the morning meeting.
Not only policies from our president—we also share progress and discuss together.
Even on busy days, this time helps bring our feelings together as one.
And my “partner,” you could say, is the daily report I write.
It’s where I organize plans, jot memos, and record insights—
I even write down worries sometimes (lol). For me it’s like an important reflection notebook.
Of course, there are many tricks I can’t fit here,
but I’d be happy to share them when we meet in person. ^^
