There is more than an unhealthy amount of folks in Taiwan who suffer from varying degrees of stationery fanaticism. Their symptoms include a thorough knowledge of Japanese and Western stationery, constant failures to suppress the urge to buy washi tape, and starting blogs, such as " Stationeria," that are dedicated to stationery. Some even devote themselves to stationery manufacturing and opening up stationery stores.
