What are Furukawashiko washi flake stickers?

They are small, ready-cut stickers made of washi paper, sold loose in a pack of 20. “Flake” means each sticker is already cut out, so there’s no sheet to peel around; you take one from the bag and stick it down.

Furukawa Shiko (古川紙工), a paper company in Mino, Gifu Prefecture, makes them and sells them as Furukawashiko. Its own online shop lists 62 flake-sticker items, with designs from cats and shiba dogs to Japanese sweets, music and stationery.

Model numbers start with QSA, such as QSA297 for Musical Instruments (JetPens), QSA294 for Stationery and QSA389 for Sukima Nyanko (Furukawashiko). Furukawashiko’s online shop lists Stationery at ¥352 (about US$2.20), Sukima Nyanko at ¥374 (about US$2.40) and the licensed Monchhichi Colors B at ¥440 (about US$2.80), all tax included. Sizes vary by design, so the 30 mm figure is a maximum, not every flake’s size.

Drawn to scale: a 30 by 30 mm limit with a 24 by 23 mm Furukawashiko flake inside, a 19 mm cat flake, and dashed outlines of a 1 inch Mind Wave flake and a 45 mm Kamio Kyoto flake — Furukawashiko flakes are a little smaller than a Mind Wave flake; the art is representative.

How big are Furukawashiko flakes?

Each flake is within 30 × 30 mm, about 1.2 in, and many are smaller. JetPens lists 2.4 × 2.3 cm for the Musical Instruments pack and 1.9 cm for the Cat pack.

That size fits a daily box in most planners; on a Hobonichi-style 3.7 mm grid, a 24 mm flake spans six or seven squares. Small flakes also work as markers beside a heading.

What designs does Furukawashiko make?

The range is wide: animals, Japanese motifs, food, music and seasonal sets. Paperwhisper lists Japan, Cat, Music, Panda, Shiba, Snacks, Stationery and White Birds; other shops list Nippon, Wagashi (Japanese sweets) and a limited winter Shimaenaga (long-tailed tit) edition, and Furukawashiko’s own shop adds Sukima Nyanko and licensed Monchhichi packs.

Each pack is one theme with five designs. Stock changes by season, so a design you see in a Japanese shop may not reach US stores.

How do they compare with other Japanese flake stickers?

They are simpler and cheaper than foil flakes, with more designs per theme than most picture-sticker sheets.

Sticker	Format	Material	Count
Furukawashiko washi flakes	Loose flakes	Washi	20 (5 × 4)
Mind Wave Washi Flowers	Loose flakes	Washi, gold foil	40 (10 × 4)
Kamio Picture Book	1 long sheet	Textured paper, gold foil	Not stated
Midori Yuru Log	Sheets	Washi	29 to 62
BGM IPPAI	Loose flakes	Washi, gold foil	45 (15 × 3)

Choose Furukawashiko when you want a small, cheap pack in one theme. Choose Mind Wave for foil, or Yuru Log for many tiny stickers.

Can you write on washi flake stickers?

Furukawashiko doesn’t say these flakes are coated for writing, and we haven’t tested them yet. For Midori’s untreated washi stickers, JetPens recommends a pencil or an oil-based marker, and the same caution is sensible here.

For labels you plan to write on, try a fine pencil or an oil-based marker on one flake first. We’ll add results after our test.

Who makes Furukawashiko stickers?

Furukawa Shiko Co., Ltd., a paper products company based in Mino, Gifu Prefecture. Its company profile says it plans, designs, makes and sells paper products, including Mino washi.

One of its press releases says the business began in Mino in 1835, while its company profile gives November 1919 as the date it was established. We list both because the sources differ.

Where are Furukawashiko flake stickers made?

Paperwhisper and The Camel Station list them as made in Japan. Furukawashiko’s own shop pages don’t state the country; the maker is based in Mino, Gifu, and we haven’t confirmed which factory prints the flakes.
