About « 錺 KAZARI KANAGU »
※This product includes: KAZARI KANAGU Fountain Pen - Dragon (14K gold nib F) + Dragon-patterned gold presentation box + Brass ink bottle + Ink converter
The 錺 (KAZARI KANAGU), a type of metal craftsmanship, is often used for Buddhist worship objects. With changes in people’s lifestyles, this traditional metal accessory craft has gradually developed a new design aspect beyond the original decoration of temples, shrines, Buddhist altars, mikoshi, etc., allowing the art of metal engraving to be integrated into daily life and become an exquisite and meaningful decoration of lifestyle.
To commemorate the Year of the Dragon, YSTUDIO presents the exquisite “Year of the Dragon Limited Edition” as part of the Classic Renaissance Series. Inspired by the intricate “cloud and thunder” motif found on traditional Eastern bronzes, this pen captures the majestic sight of dragons ascending to the celestial realm.
When the dragon emerges, it bestows auspicious blessings and symbolizes the eternal cycle of nature. With this fusion of Eastern culture, aesthetics, and traditional craftsmanship, the pen transforms into a vessel of limitless possibilities.
As emotions flow through its golden body and are inscribed on the page, the writer’s story is immortalized for generations to come.
14-CARAT GOLD NIB
The YSTUDIO fountain pen nib, made in Germany and crafted from 14-carat gold, is of unmatched quality.
The nib is adorned with the distinctive character « 龍 » (meaning “Dragon” in Mandarin) and the delicately engraved YSTUDIO logo. After multiple rounds of hand polishing, the nib embodies a remarkable spirit of craftsmanship.
DRAGON PATTERN SILVERSMITH BOX
Made of solid wood, the dragon-pattern silversmith box offers a sturdy and generous storage space. Designed with a special pen holder slot, it proudly displays your Dragon pen standing inside.

USAGE & CARE
The color of the brass may change depending on the user and environment, but this is also its unique characteristic. The oxide is harmless. Simply wipe with Brass Polish to restore the brass’s original shine. Without any surface treatment, we hope each product will retain its individual marks through constant use by its owner.
INK RECOMMENDATION
For an optimal writing experience, we recommend customers use moderately thick ink. For example, inks from Pelikan, Waterman, Cross, etc.
