Smooth opening and closing by delicate handwork. You will feel comfortable every time you use it.
Elegant harmony created by the design on the reverse side
The bottom is made of simple plain paper instead of hand-dyed Japanese paper.
While enhancing the beauty of the pattern, the design has a subdued atmosphere, allowing the wearer to enjoy different looks on the front and back sides.
The perfect balance with the front side creates a more sophisticated impression.
Details that highlight the charm of hand-dyed
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used for this pen case is a Fuwa Market original. Each piece is hand-dyed by Yuzen Washi dyeing craftsmen at a specialized factory in Kyoto.
The deep colors and unique texture achieved through traditional techniques are attractive. Looking at the pattern up close, you can see the delicate overlapping of colors that is unique to hand-dyed fabrics.
The subtle shading and bleeding bring out the texture that can only be achieved by hand, creating a unique beauty.
By carefully dyeing each block, we create a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed through a simple print.
The attention to detail has been paid to bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of Japanese beautiful craftsmanship and traditional patterns.
Please experience the charm of this texture and warmth created by the handiwork of artisans.
Wishes and prayers contained in traditional patterns

Pine trees are a symbol of prosperity
The pine tree is a plant that the Japanese have long loved as a sacred symbol.
The plant has been associated with the wish for "longevity" in its lush foliage, even in the coldest of winters, and "prosperity of offspring" in its characteristic of male and female flowers on a single plant.
Since the Edo period (1603-1867), it has been depicted on the wooden walls of Noh stages as a plant in which the gods dwell, and kadomatsu, a pine tree used to welcome the New Year, has become an indispensable part of both the performing arts and our daily lives.
The pine tree's powerful vitality and beauty are much loved by many people even today.
