Classic Renaissance - YAKIHAKU Heritage Ballpoint Pen
An extraordinary "Flat foil" craftsmanship
YSTUDIO collaborates with Rakugei, a traditional aluminum art workshop in Japan, to create a unique piece.
Two editions are presented in this artisanal series: the "Heritage" edition and the "Renaissance" edition. The old Unryūhaku – discovered in a Japanese city called Kanazawa by the founder of Rakugei and grandfather of Kohei Murata before World War II – is used for the "Heritage" edition. Since the original technique used in the old Unryūhaku is barely documented, the Murata family has dedicated themselves to reviving this mysterious silver foil since the post-war period. About half a century ago, they successfully created their version of Unryūhaku, which is used in the "Reborn" edition of the Unryūhaku pen by ystudio.
Each edition has its unique beauty: the "Heritage" edition is darker, intensifying the shimmering veined pattern of the aged foil, while the one used in the "Reborn" edition reveals a subtle pale golden glow as if joyfully celebrating the revitalization of the tradition.
*The YAKIHAKU rollerball pen won the Taiwan Golden Pin Design Award 2022
ARTIST
Mr. Kohei Murata, owner of Rakugei and third-generation successor of his family’s foil technique, began learning the "Flat foil" technique from his father while studying at university. Since then, Mr. Murata has won numerous awards in the field of traditional crafts.
