Hunter & the Scholar is a thoughtfully curated stationery shop carrying Korean, Japanese, and in-house designed stationery.

Hunter & the Scholar was born out of a desire to help individuals, including students and recent graduates, in navigating their daily lives with joy, creativity, and a sense of fulfillment that extends beyond deadlines and a solely utilitarian approach to school, work, and life.

Deadlines and calendar notifications are great to keep us on track, but what about everything else? There's so much more to learning, working, and living than deadlines and outcomes.

When we started searching for tools to suggest as creative avenues for students and recent graduates, we knew that stationery from Korea and Japan would be up for the task. They approach design as well as navigating time differently than what seemed readily available elsewhere.

Hunter & the Scholar is committed to constructing a space with accessible tools that is open to students, recent graduates, and anyone who needs it to build their lofi days.

You may be wondering why we keep referring to building your "lofi days"!

You may have heard of "lofi music"; it's the type of music that embraces the imperfections becoming part of the music's charm. It's perfectly imperfect.

Leaning into this notion, we encourage everyone to start embracing the imperfections in our everyday life to build one that we can appreciate in all its imperfect perfections.

Whether it's about creating the most aesthetic planner, journal, or diary to one that "just" works, approaching these and other aspects of our lives without the pressures of perfectionism can make everything so much more enjoyable.

Build your lofi days to enjoy your days.

Shipping Information
All delivery times, including our flat rate, are estimates provided by carriers; we sadly do not have the power to change them
Lost, Damaged, Missing Items
On our end, we go to great lengths in ensuring that your order is sent out safely and on a timely manner! However, once it is in the hands of the carriers, like USPS, we are unable to control factors that may lead to items becoming lost, damaged, or missing before it is in your hands.
Your orders will always include shipping insurance, and on the rare occasion that an item may arrive damaged, you will be able to file a claim with USPS or the claim processing company (depending on the shipping you chose). The information for USPS can be found here--they've simplified the process so you can even file online!
Returns
Currently, we are only able to accept eligible returns. As we are not a big corporation like Amazon, we are unable to provide the types of exchanges/returns as they are able to do. Please make sure to look at the photos and descriptions when making the purchase.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us through the messaging feature. We will get back to you within 1-2 business days.
