Ballpoint Pen (Reborn) Classic Renaissance- YAKIHAKU

Classic Renaissance - YAKIHAKU Reborn Ballpoint Pen

Extraordinary know-how "Flat foil"

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. The original technique used in the old Unryūhaku being barely documented, the Murata family has dedicated themselves to reviving this mysterious silver leaf 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 from ystudio.

Each edition has its unique beauty: the "Heritage" edition is darker, intensifying the shimmering veined pattern of the aged leaf, while the one used in the "Reborn" edition reveals a subtle pale golden sheen as if to joyfully celebrate the revitalization of tradition.

*The YAKIHAKU roller 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 craftsmanship.
