Vintage Lady-Mate Co. Memo Pad Case & Pencil Set | 1960s–70s Kawaii Big-Eye Girl | Gold Metal | Japan

A charming and complete vintage Lady-Mate Co. Ltd memo pad case and pencil set, dating to the 1960s–1970s. The front features an adorable big-eyed girl illustration in the classic Japanese kawaii style — she’s pictured from behind, blonde ponytail tied with a red bow, carrying a basket of flowers through a fairy-tale village scene. The back is finished in a gold-tone crosshatch textured metal, with the original Lady-Mate Co. Ltd sticker intact.

The hinged lid opens to reveal the original notepad paper inside, and the matching miniature gold-tone pencil clips neatly to the side — making this a wonderfully complete and original set.

A rare find for vintage stationery collectors, kawaii enthusiasts, and lovers of 1960s–70s Japanese novelty items.
