About "錺 KAZARI KANAGU"

※This product includes: KAZARI KANAGU Fountain Pen - Dragon (14K F nib) + Gold presentation box with dragon pattern + Brass ink bottle + Ink converter

The 錺 (KAZARI KANAGU), a type of metal craftsmanship, is often used for Buddhist worship objects. With the evolution of people's lifestyles, this traditional craft of metal accessories has gradually developed a new design aspect beyond the initial decoration of temples, shrines, Buddhist altars, mikoshi, etc., allowing the art of metal engraving to be integrated into people's daily lives and to become an exquisite and meaningful decoration of their lifestyle.

To commemorate the Year of the Dragon, YSTUDIO presents the exquisite "Year of the Dragon Limited Edition" as part of the Classic Renaissance Series. Inspired by the intricate "cloud and thunder" motif found on traditional Eastern bronzes, this pen captures the majestic sight of dragons soaring in the celestial realm.

"When the dragon emerges, it bestows blessings of good omen and symbolizes the eternal cycle of nature. With this fusion of Eastern culture, aesthetics, and traditional craftsmanship, the pen transforms into a vessel of limitless possibilities."

As the emotions flow through his golden body and are inscribed on the page, the writer's narrative is immortalized for generations to come.

14 CARAT GOLD FEATHER 

The nib of the YSTUDIO fountain pen, made in Germany and in 14-carat gold, is of unmatched quality.

The pen is adorned with the distinctive character "龍" (which means "Dragon" in Mandarin) and the YSTUDIO logo delicately engraved. After multiple rounds of hand polishing, the pen embodies a remarkable spirit of craftsmanship.

 

THE GOLDEN BOX WITH DRAGON MOTIF

Made of solid wood, the dragon motif jewelry box offers a sturdy and generous storage space. Designed with a special pen holder, it proudly showcases your Dragon pen, standing inside.

YSTUDIO invited Mr. Mitsuhiro Ito to engrave his own message on the lid: "One heart and one spirit, one path to life," which illustrates the artisan's unwavering commitment and dedication to his craft throughout his life.

 

BRASS INK BOTTLE

The box includes a brass ink bottle with a brass cap and a wide transparent glass body.

USE & MAINTENANCE

The color of brass can change depending on the user and the environment, but it is also its unique characteristic. The oxide is harmless. Simply wipe with Brass Polish for the brass to regain its original shine. Without any surface treatment, we hope that each product can retain its individual marks through the constant use of its owner.

 

RECOMMENDATION REGARDING INK

In order to benefit from an optimal writing experience, we recommend that customers use ink of moderate thickness. For example, Pelikan, Waterman, Cross ink, etc.
