each and every part that makes it up.

"What kind of pen is worthy of the name craft?"
We thought about this question once again and arrived at this pen.
The expression and style change depending on the parts you choose.
When replacing parts or refills, you will feel as if you are caring for an antique tool.
The more you care for it, the more you will love it, and it will become a part of you.
This pen is a work of art that is completed by combining sensibilities.
?
It is the things that are closest to us that should be called art.
If words born from the hands are handmade products,
the pen that creates them must also be handcrafted.
The "006" was born from this background,
and each part is carefully crafted with great taste.
Of course, it goes without saying that not only the beauty of the details, but also the completeness when assembled.
A design that exudes dignity and a weight that feels comfortable in the hand.
The boldly slitted body
has a playfulness that allows you to feel the "inside" even with the cap on.
The layers created by stacking the parts
have an unprecedented charm.
This is the birth of a pen that can be said to be the true essence of SAKURA craft_lab.

■About SAKURA craft_lab
Since its founding in 1921, Sakura Cray-Pas has had the company motto of "contributing to education and culture" and has sought "a rich life with color" by creating innovative technologies and products that do not exist in the world, such as Cray-Pas and Coupy. Writing with excitement, holding it, reminding you of the innocent feelings of childhood, making you want to keep writing forever.

■About the "core"
[Metal]: The weight of the pen, the comfort of the grip, its durability, and the texture of the material that you can love. We selected three types of materials from various metal materials, taking into consideration the shape of the pen and changes over time. You can choose from "brass" which feels heavy, "Nickel silver" which has a unique texture, and "aluminum" which is comfortable and light.
[Pipe Wood]: For the "Pipe Wood" used as one of the cores, we used the root nodules of "Erica arborea" which grows in land that is not suitable for plant growth on the Mediterranean coast. The nodules that grow over 50 years cannot be cultivated artificially, so they are a very valuable material, and are also used as pipe materials due to their strong and smooth texture. We have achieved a high-quality handle by making full use of the craftsmanship.
■About the 6 colors of black ink
The ultimate black "jet black" has been added to our carefully selected black ink. SAKURA craft_lab is particular about the black of the ink and has offered five colors of black ink. This time, we have developed a new "jet black" color made from a specially formulated pigment. It is denser than regular black, and has achieved a deeper, richer black than ever before. Experience the ultimate black color while still maintaining the smooth writing feel of gel ink.
