Shikkō Fountain Pen
Move On — Wisteria (purple）
Crafting the finest techniques of Wajima-nuri into a pen for everyday use.
Even after the New Year’s Day earthquake and the September floods in 2024, we keep “moving on.” We entrust this fountain pen with the wish that every moment of writing in your hands will carry Wajima’s craftsmanship forward to what comes next.
Against a deep jet-black ground, clusters of wisteria painted by a female maki-e artist glow softly.
With natural urushi, the gentle sheen responds to the warmth of your fingertips, deepening over time and developing character each time you write.
Design & Supervision
Under the supervision of Mr. Kozo Yamazaki—organizer of the Kobe Pen Show and representative of the yy Pen Club—we pursued a new sense of size and balance. An ebonite core is prepared with Wajima-nuri’s meticulous undercoats and topcoats, then finished with finely detailed maki-e.

About the Shippo (Seven Treasures) Pattern
With interlinked circles that continue endlessly, Shippo symbolizes harmony, good fortune, and human connection.
It conveys the idea that bonds between people are as precious as the “seven treasures.”
We chose this textile with the hope that this pen will widen the circle of connection through writing—and to share the beauty of Japanese silk weaving with people around the world.

Nishijin-ori
Nishijin weaving
When you think about raising silk from silkworms, how much time, effort, and labor does it take?
Starting with the design and dyeing the thread, a single piece of textile is completed through more than 20 steps.
Each and every step of the process is still carried out carefully by hand.
While most Nishijin-ori textiles use synthetic fibers such as polyester, we use fabrics from Konkan Shoten, a long-established Kyoto store that specializes in pure silk.
