Handcrafted Nib Holder

¥11,000
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A nib holder with a wooden shaft, each one made from a different tree. They are crafted from materials selected from over 140 types of wood.

A dip pen holder handcrafted by artist Toshimasa Kawamura. Each one is carefully carved from his extensive collection of wood. The wood types are all rare varieties collected over many years from countries around the world.

You can use it by attaching a nib (sold separately). Since it uses a standard size for the insert, you can enjoy switching between various nibs.

Easy to maintain and ready to write whenever you want. While dip pens are traditional tools, perhaps they are even more suited to the modern age. They are light writing tools that you'll want to keep using for another 10 years, and beyond.
