Since 1905, KOKUYO has supported the everyday acts of working and learning — beginning with crafting covers for traditional Japanese ledger books. At the Yokoku Research Institute, we carry this 120-year legacy forward with a conviction: the future is not something to predict, but something to declare and build together. As KOKUYO expands across Asia, we look forward to exploring the future of work and learning with Singapore’s design community.
