CLASSIC RENAISSANCE ROLLER PEN - KAZARI KANAGU DRAGON
Perpetuating the legacy of artisans, creating timeless blessings
About « 錺 KAZARI KANAGU »
The 錺 (KAZARI KANAGU), a type of metal craft, is often used for Buddhist devotional objects. With the evolution of 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 everyday life and become an exquisite and meaningful decoration of their 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 rising into 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.
THE SILVERSMITH DRAGON MOTIF CASE
Made of solid wood, the silversmith dragon motif case offers a sturdy and generous storage space. Designed with a special pen holder slot, it proudly displays your Dragon pen standing inside.
YSTUDIO invited Mr. Mitsuhiro Ito to engrave his own message on the lid: “One heart and one mind, one path to life,” illustrating the artisan’s unwavering commitment and lifelong dedication to his craft.
