Hyogensha

HYOUGENSHA is a Japanese stationery manufacturer with a long tradition, founded in Kyoto in 1932. Through its products – stationery sets, postcards, letter paper, greeting cards, small "pochi" envelopes, and "fumiko" scented notes – the brand strives to convey heartfelt emotions and help people express them in their daily lives.

In an age when emails and smartphones allow us to communicate quickly and conveniently, HYOUGENSHA believes it's worth taking more time and care to convey a message full of personal warmth to someone.

In 2013, the company created the cozyca products brand. The idea behind it was to allow as many people as possible to enjoy the unique designs of Japanese artists, while also supporting their work. To date, cozyca products has created collections in collaboration with approximately 30 artists and creators.

The brand's designs are distinguished by their free imagination and original patterns that do not follow established conventions.

All products are made in Japan with attention to high-quality craftsmanship, making them appealing not only for their design but also for their comfort in everyday use.

By incorporating stationery items adorned with the distinctive illustrations of your favorite artists into your daily life, you can make ordinary moments a little more beautiful and joyful.

Taku Bannai (坂内拓)

- an illustrator known for his collage works used in advertising, books, press, and music projects in Japan.

Looking closely at his illustrations, one can spot various paper textures, subtle unevenness of overlapping colors, and shadows created where layers of paper overlap. Although the compositions are minimalist, it's easy to imagine the wind blowing through the depicted landscape, the sound of waves, or rays of sunlight streaming in. It is precisely the artist's extraordinary attention to detail that gives his works such a unique character.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Taku Bannai's illustrations allow one to slow down for a moment and feel the calm, unhurried passage of time. His designs are perfectly suited for stationery – both for personal notes and for writing letters to loved ones.

In the daily rush, as days pass one after another, Taku Bannai's works bring us beautiful moments and allow us to feel the pleasant, unhurried passage of time.

These are ideal items for both your own notes and for letters written to loved ones.

Kano Hirabayashi (平林香乃)

- lives in Kyoto and creates illustrations with crayons inspired by ordinary moments, simple meals, and the beauty of everyday life.

Her gentle, warm works reflect the artist's calm sensibility and bring a touch of solace to everyday life. Items adorned with her illustrations can become a pleasant companion for moments when we want to slow down, relax, or share a little warmth with a loved one.

Aiko Fukawa (布川愛子)

- she is a painter and illustrator involved in a wide range of projects both in Japan and abroad – from advertisements and book illustrations to product design and collaborations with clothing brands. Her colourful, warm illustrations featuring animal motifs are particularly popular.

Yuka Hiiragi (柊有花)

- is an illustrator whose works are distinguished by soft colors and a fantastic, poetic atmosphere. Her characteristic, slightly stylized illustrations hide much more than just charm – one can also find emotions and personal reflections of the artist herself, which give her work unique depth.

Nishi Shuku (西淑)

- an illustrator known for her book illustrations, cover designs, and delicate works inspired by nature and everyday life. Her illustrations exude warmth and tenderness, captivating from the very first glance. Upon closer inspection, one can notice subtle brushstrokes, depth of color, and an extraordinary tranquility that emanates from her works. Perhaps this is the secret of Nishi Shuku's artistry – her illustrations linger in memory and move viewers with their subtlety.

Midori Asano (浅野みどり)

- is an illustrator who creates botanical motifs, tableware, and landscapes that evoke distant, exotic places.

Her delicate, warm illustrations possess a remarkable tranquility and subtle charm. What's more, her style – free-flowing yet mature – ensures her work is immensely popular with audiences of all ages.

Akira Kusaka (日下明)

- is a Japanese illustrator and graphic designer from Osaka, who creates whimsical, imaginative illustrations that combine art, storytelling, and the subtle surrealism of everyday scenes.

The artist is also involved in music as a member of "repair" – a unique duo combining image, sound, and word.

Perhaps that's why he so often chooses instruments as the main motif for his illustrations. The sight of bears, deer, and other various creatures playing instruments brings immense solace. What's remarkable is that, looking at them, one can almost get the impression that music played by these animals truly emanates from the pictures.
