YAKIHAKU PEN - extraordinary know-how "Flat foil"

YSTUDIO collaborates with Rakugei in Japan, a traditional art workshop. Mr. Kohei Murata, the owner of Rakugei and the 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 craftsmanship.

The "flat foil" is originally a special weaving method used on the traditional Japanese garment, the kimono. And now, Mr. Murata is dedicated to applying this technique in other fields.

In this collaboration, Mr. Murata uses a rare material "Unryū (means cloud dragon) Foil" and applies it to the YSTUDIO pen with a delicate and highly skilled traditional technique. Through this process, the foil reveals the unique shade of vulcanized silver, just like a dragon flying in the clouds.

The YAKIHAKU ballpoint pen embodies the beauty of classic Japanese aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship in the style of the YSTUDIO brand.

*The YAKIHAKU ballpoint pen won the Taiwan Golden Pin Design Award 2022.
