 You know what I miss?

Japanese stationery sets.

I used to collect a few different sets, for correspondence with various people, and save some sample sheets and small envelopes. Bears, penguins, and the like, sometimes anthropomorphized and sometimes not.  

Given that postal correspondence may come back in vogue, I started looking around for similar. Daiso had very serious minimalist sets, Muji is more for journals, and there is a stationery shop still at the Vancouver Public Library Central branch -- but it was not open despite it being during the hours of operation listed.

Perhaps I will look online, or perhaps there is something on Alberni or Robson. 
And possibly, the tastes have changed, and I won't find any style I like -- but I would like to know.
