About Us

Why KoiKoi?

Ever heard of Hanafuda cards? They are gorgeous traditional Japanese playing cards featuring beautiful artwork based on the months of the year. In fact, Hanafuda cards were Nintendo's main product when they began in 1889. The term "Koi-Koi" comes from a game played with these cards, and is uttered when a player wants to continue the round and potentially win more points. It means "come on!"

This phrase "Koi-koi" became a household staple for us. We use it to encourage us to do hard things, to take a risk, or to double down on a decision. It's only fitting that our small-business venture would take on the name.

Where it all started...

As long-time stationery nerds, we loved the idea of getting to share our hobby with the world. Japanese stationery has always been top quality, and after getting to explore Japan and its many stationery shops we decided to make the leap and open our own here in Florida.

Our products are meticulously tested, and you can be sure that if it's on our shelves, it's the best we can get! We started with a small selection, mostly based on our own collection and preferences. As the shop grows, we are so excited to learn what our customers like and offer you even more variety!
