Black Lacquered Pen Holder - Urushi
A pen holder made from Japanese cherry wood and lacquered using the fuki-urushi ("wiped urushi") technique, where the wood is impregnated with urushi lacquer to highlight the beauty of the grain.
The writing tools we choose also touch our emotions. We aimed to create a tool that inspires a lifetime of use, bringing joy to our hands and soul. Designed to universal specifications to fit all standard nibs, the pen holder will accompany you through a lifetime of writing.
The simple and refined matte lacquer complements any office space or occasion.
Fuki-urushi is a traditional technique also widely used in historic architecture. Our pen rest and pen holder are ink-stained before being lacquered to enhance both the beauty of the wood grain and the lacquer itself.
USE AND CARE
Pen holder only, nib sold separately.
To avoid warping and discoloration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, and
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and color vary from piece to piece.
If marked with ink, wipe with a soft cloth.
When removing the nib from the pen holder, pull gently while twisting to avoid dislodging the nib support.
After rinsing, shake well downward to remove any water or ink from the nib support before inserting a nib.

Usage & Entretien
Born in Kuramae, the craftsmen's district
Since 2010, Kakimori has inspired writing from Kuramae, a workshop district in Tokyo. Inks with vibrant colors, metal nibs, carefully selected papers: each item is designed to make the act of writing simple and precious, every day.
KAKIMORI EXPERTISE
What makes these objects unique
Inks with bold colors
Kakimori inks are pigmented: dense colors that sit on the paper and stay there, without bleeding through the page.
Metal feathers, regular stroke
Stainless steel or brass nibs provide a smooth and consistent line, and can be cleaned with a simple gesture.
Carefully selected paper
Notebooks, envelopes, and letter papers are selected for their feel and ink durability.
Hand-finished
Caps, pen holders, and pen rests go through the workshop for a smooth and precise finish.
A craftsman’s district
Kuramae, between workshops and shops, is the birthplace of the brand. It is where everything is designed and tested.
Since 2010
A young brand that has made a name for itself among writing enthusiasts, in Tokyo as well as in Paris.
