About the brand
Since 1905, in Osaka
KOKUYO was founded in 1905 in Osaka by Zentaro Kuroda, who started by making covers for Japanese account books. The name combines the characters for country and honour: the wish to be the pride of his home region.
In 1975 it launched the Campus notebooks. Today it makes notebooks, pencil cases and office supplies designed down to the last detail, for studying and working.

I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

Araujo & Sobrinho is a historic and magical stationery shop that has inspired me since the 1970s. A landmark for artists and lovers of the best brands. A symbol of our magnificent city of Porto!

On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
