Color variations of the Pattern of Happiness pen case
The Pattern of Happiness is a pattern loved by people since ancient times for its beauty, vitality, nobility, and elegant image.
We designed it in a modern way to dye the good motifs of the past into contemporary lifestyle.
The colors range from warm red tones,
to bright and pop yellow tones, with two color variations.
While the colors are well matched, each has its own personality, making them ideal as colorful items to decorate your desk.
※ Since large sheets are cut to make these, there are individual differences in the placement of the pattern. Please understand this in advance.
Fusion of refined design and craftsmanship
This pen case is a special exquisite item handcrafted by Kyoto artisans specializing in wrapping boxes, carefully made one by one.
The outside uses hand-dyed Japanese paper, while the inside adopts a different color, allowing you to feel the colorfulness the moment you open it.
It is designed with the concept of "making using it enjoyable."
Design combining storage capacity and functional beauty
The pen case has a size just right to store various writing instruments such as fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and mechanical pencils.
It can hold about five ballpoint pens, as well as regular and felt-tip pens.
Of course, it can also be used as an eyeglass case, accessory case, or a pouch for mobile phone accessories, making it versatile for various uses.
Thanks to its sturdy wrapping box structure, it protects your writing instruments well and can be cherished for a long time.
Inside colors accented
The beauty when opened is also carefully considered, with the inside bottom surface adopting original Japanese paper. The color coordination balanced with the pattern on the surface creates a refined impression.
The smooth opening and closing made possible by delicate craftsmanship will make you feel comfortable every time you use it.
Refined harmony born from the inside design
The inside bottom uses simple, plain-colored paper instead of hand-dyed Japanese paper.
While drawing out the beauty of the wrapping box, it creates a calm atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the contrast between the outside and inside designs.
The exquisite balance with the surface pattern expresses a refined impression.
The charm of hand-dyed paper stands out in the detail
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used in this pen case is original Fuwa Market. Kyoto artisans specializing in Japanese paper dyeing carefully craft each piece by hand at a specialized workshop.
Using traditional techniques, it boasts a deep color and a unique harmony. When you look closely at the paper, you can feel the dense layering of colors unique to hand-dyed paper.
Subtle gradations and nuances created by the craftsmanship express an unparalleled beauty.
Each edition is carefully dyed by hand, creating a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed by simple printing.
The meticulous craftsmanship brings out the refined beauty of Japanese paper. Every time you use it, you will feel the meaning of traditional craftsmanship and patterns from Japan.
Born from artisans’ craftsmanship, please experience this harmonious and warm charm.
Wishes and prayers woven into traditional patterns
[Ume Pattern]
Ume for Health and Disaster Prevention
A pitiful flower that blooms proudly amidst the cold wind and frost. Along with its faint sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring.
The deep quietness of the returning winter scenery, with gentle hues of red, pink, and white, gives a sense of the breath of life.
In Japan's oldest anthology of songs, the "Manyoshu," many songs feature the "ume" (plum), which has long fascinated people since ancient times.
Speaking of ume as a talisman, there is the tea "Daifuku-cha" containing dried ume and kombu (kelp) that was originally drunk by Emperor Murakami during the mid-Heian period when he was ill, and it helped him recover.
It became a custom to drink it while wishing for a year free of illness and disasters.
