Sakura: Crafted from Japanese cherry. Experience the feel of natural wood. Japanese cherry is known for its reddish colour that deepens over time, allowing you to enjoy your pen’s unique transformation. An ink-resistant finish ensures practicality while maintaining the natural appeal of wood.
White Sakura: Crafted from the sapwood of Japanese cherry, characterised by its pale, whiter appearance. From the reddish centre to the whiter outer layers, the unique colour variation is the beauty of working with natural wood.
Urushi: Crafted from Japanese cherry and lacquered by the fuki-urushi technique. Fuki-urushi is a traditional Japanese lacquering technique that is also widely used in historic architecture. The nib holder is first dyed with sumi ink before being overlaid with black lacquer to showcase the beauty of both the lacquer and the wood grain. The simplicity of the matt lacquer brings an understated elegance to any desk and writing occasion.
Aluminium: Machined from solid aluminium. Each nib holder is carefully hand finished, giving the metal a touch of softness that can only be achieved by hand. The pleasant weight creates a well-balanced writing experience.
Aizome: Crafted from Japanese cherry and finished by aizome, Japanese indigo dyeing. The elegant wood grain is accentuated by the deep indigo finish. Each nib holder is hand dyed with care by an indigo artisan. The colour will gently fade to a true indigo with use. If the wood becomes dry, polish with beeswax to restore its lustre.
