Luxury Mechanical Pencils in Demand for Spring Gift Season – Ginza Itoya’s Fresh Recommendation

As we approach Japan’s spring season of Freshers’ Gifts, the demand for high-end writing instruments is steadily rising. Every year during this period, we feature recommended luxury pens from the flagship Ginza Itoya store in Tokyo. This year, however, we’re switching things up—with a spotlight on their carefully curated luxury mechanical pencils.

At the G.Itoya Main Building, the 3rd floor is dedicated to premium pens, while the 5th floor showcases everyday writing tools. On weekends, it's common to see male students browsing the mechanical pencil section with great interest.

"Over the past few years, we've seen an increasing number of middle and high school boys visiting with friends or family," says Koichi Hiraishi, the buyer in charge of high-end pens. "They’re incredibly enthusiastic, examining products closely. Many come after seeing items on social media, eager to see the real thing. While it’s easy to buy online, we believe in offering a space where customers can try out the writing feel, weight, and grip to find the one that truly suits them—and use it for years to come."

Whether it’s a mechanical pencil, ballpoint pen, or fountain pen, Itoya believes that a pen isn’t just a writing tool—it’s something that lifts your spirits just by owning it. It can be a reliable companion, even a source of motivation. “For this spring season,” Hiraishi says, “we’ve selected timeless, durable mechanical pencils. We hope customers will find one lasting pen they’ll cherish for years. These are ideal gifts to celebrate a meaningful milestone.
