Made with original washi paper, hand-dyed one sheet at a time
The surface uses Fuwa Market's original washi paper, meticulously hand-dyed sheet by sheet by artisans at a long-established Yuzen washi dyeing factory in Kyoto.
Its appeal lies in the deep color variations that cannot be achieved by machines, and the gentle, warm texture unique to washi paper.
You can easily enjoy the beauty of handcrafted artistry in your daily life.
Traditional patterns in nuanced colors that blend into modern life
We designed traditional Japanese auspicious patterns, long cherished, in gentle color tones that naturally blend with modern interiors and desks.
Seigaiha (Blue)
A pattern where overlapping waves embody wishes for "abundance" and "infinity." The gradation from blue to light blue evokes a calm sea.
Ume (Plum) (Pink)
A pattern symbolizing the arrival of spring and vitality, conveying wishes for "good health and protection from evil." The soft mauve pink gives an elegant and gentle impression.
Ichimatsu (Checkered) (Green)
A traditional checkered pattern wishing for "prosperity and development." Nuanced green and pale gray create a calm, modern atmosphere.
Ginkgo (Yellow)
A ginkgo leaf pattern, considered a symbol of good fortune and abundance. The combination of bright yellow-green and gray gives a sophisticated impression.
Each pattern carries an auspicious meaning, making them ideal not only for personal use but also as gifts for loved ones for new beginnings, job promotions, and more.
Durable, long-lasting construction with a sturdy box finish
Its sturdy box construction resists deformation, providing excellent protection for your precious writing instruments. The durable and beautiful box shape makes it easy to maintain its pristine form even with daily use, allowing for long-term enjoyment.
Shallow box shape allows contents to be seen at a glance
Opening the lid reveals the entire contents, allowing you to quickly find the pen you want.
When left open on your desk, it can also function as a pen tray or desktop organizer, making your work and study time more comfortable.
Secure for carrying with an elastic band
An elastic band threaded through metal eyelets securely fastens the lid.
It's less likely to open in your bag, and there's little worry of contents spilling out while on the move, making it safe for daily commutes, school, and outings.
Slim size fits neatly in your bag
Its slim, box-like shape means it won't bulk up your bag and is comfortable to carry. It's also perfect for those who want to carry their favorite writing instruments together.
Japanese modern design also suitable for gifts
The calm colors and elegant Japanese design are appealing because they are suitable for all ages.
It's recommended as a gift for new beginnings, job promotions, birthdays, Mother's Day, or for international acquaintances. It will be appreciated as a special gift that allows them to feel the beauty of Japan every time they use it.

Also valuing connections with local communities and society
All original products from Fuwa Market are carefully finished by artisans in Japan, including Kyoto.
Furthermore, some light tasks, such as package preparation and tagging, are carried out in cooperation with "tomoni," an employment support facility for people with disabilities, which is an affiliated company.
This collaboration was born from the experience of Fuwa Market's representative, Nishida's family.
By participating in the manufacturing process, we ask them to perform tasks within their capabilities and provide remuneration (wages) as a way to boost their confidence and joy.
Fuwa Market values a collaboration where
"artisan skills and the hands of everyone involved come together to create a product."
