🟢🟡 Shoshinsha Mark Enamel Pin – New Beginnings & Learning Spirit

The Leaf. The Learning. The Courage to Start.

In Japan, every new driver wears a mark — the Shoshinsha, a bright green and yellow V-shape that lets the world know: I’m learning.

The Shoshinsha Mark Enamel Pin celebrates this universal truth — that being a beginner is something to be proud of. Whether you're learning to drive, starting a new job, picking up a hobby, or simply growing at your own pace, this pin is a cheerful reminder that all journeys begin somewhere.

The Meaning

In Japanese, shoshinsha (初心者) means "beginner." The symbol itself is required by law for new drivers, but over time it’s grown far beyond cars and traffic signs. It’s become a symbol for learning, humility, and the bravery it takes to admit you’re just starting out.

Wearing it is like saying: I’m not perfect — but I’m trying.
