We also shared where we are based and images from the local area along with a post discussing where we source the majority of our products from!! For those who missed out keep reading.
Shachihata Europe Ltd (SHEU) is a subsidiary of Shachihata Inc. which first started producing stamps under the brand name Xstamper in 1925 and later went on to produce pens under the brand name Artline.

SHEU was established in 2004 manufacturing both Artline and Xstamper brands which were

Communication is constantly evolving. Shachihata addresses this evolution with pride,

Now let’s talk about the company name and what it means…
We're proud to be a Japanese company, our name certainly gives it away!
The Shachi, or Shachihoko, for which Shachihata was named, is a mythological creature with the body of a carp and the head of a tiger. Shachi's protect temples from fire by bringing rain - that's why they have sky-pointed tails. There are many types of creatures like the Shachi in world-wide myths, like gargoyles. That's why it's a great name for an international company.
We take great pride in it!
