At MAGNOTE we strive to find unique and fun goods from around the world. The company name comes from the Japanese word of 'ma-go-no-te' which translates to back scratchers. Our goal is to fill the gap between designers and the consumers to 'reach beyond' across the world.
As a starting point, in 2004 we introduced the i-Duck USB memory drive to the US market. In 2008, we started to bring PIPEROID, a paper craft robot with movable joints. Since then we have expanded our line-up to include other design intriguing goods from Japan and rest of the world.
In addition, we also offer consulting services for those interested in bringing products into Japanese market, including technical document translations from/to Japanese to/from English
