For
People documenting or presenting Japanese stationery history
Worth noticing
Its 32 proposed ideas include a bookstore-shelf museum, box-lettering sessions, and portable exhibitions; the site says these are not confirmed events.

Field notes

The project treats stationery as a record of daily life, pointing to forms, packaging, lettering, and patterns of use as material to examine. Its concept list spans publishing, exhibitions, participation, and collaborative keepsakes; the page explicitly labels the accompanying social-implementation images as generated concepts, not confirmed events or partnerships. Visitors can also download three graphic treatments as PNGs, with poster, phone, and desktop formats listed.
