The wooden shaft is made from natural cherry blossoms from Mt. Yoshino in Nara, and the glass nib is carefully handcrafted by craftsmen one by one. The glass pen is a writing instrument made in Japan, said to have been developed in 1902 by a Japanese wind chime craftsman. At the same time, Kuretake Co., Ltd. was also founded in 1902. To celebrate its 120th anniversary, the Kuretake Wood Glass Pen - Senbonzakura was released as one of the writing instruments worthy of the 120th anniversary. Please enjoy your writing time with this masterpiece, which is handmade one by one with love. The transparent and beautiful glass nib is made by glass artist Yoshitaka Tajima (Studio Kasho, Fukui Prefecture). Glass pens are writing instruments that can only be made completely by hand by craftsmen. Enjoy the smooth writing feel that blends with the ink.
■Natural cherry tree from Mt. Yoshino
The wood used for the shaft is natural cherry tree from Mt. Yoshino. Mt. Yoshino is also registered as a World Heritage Site.
For 1,300 years, the felling of cherry trees on Mt. Yoshino has been prohibited except for conservation purposes.
The Yoshino cherry tree suffered a lot of damage in a typhoon in 2018 and felled. Kuretake received part of the fallen cherry tree in order to transform it into a product using "cherry blossoms" from the cherry trees of Yoshino in Nara Prefecture, where the headquarters is located. The wooden shaft carved from the Yoshino cherry tree has a natural warmth and is a masterpiece that becomes more comfortable in the hand the more you use it.
The wooden pen rest is also made from the same natural cherry tree. It has a soft shape that allows you to gently place a glass pen. Each piece has a different color and texture, which is unique to natural wood. Please note in advance
