Kakimori Pens

Les plumes à tremper et porte-plumes KAKIMORI, pour une écriture expressive. Des pointes interchangeables qui se trempent dans l'encre, montées sur de beaux porte-plumes en bois comme le mérisier ou le sakura. De quoi écrire et dessiner autrement, avec un trait vivant qui varie selon la pression et l'encre.

The dip nib, a lively gesture

The dip nib is dipped directly into the ink, then writes until the ink runs out before being dipped again. The interchangeable nib attaches to a wooden penholder. The line varies according to pressure and ink amount, for writing full of character. See the inks.

Wooden penholders

KAKIMORI mounts its nibs on beautiful wooden penholders, made of cherry or sakura wood, pleasant to hold. A lovely writing tool to customize as you wish. See the KAKIMORI brand and the fountain pens.
