Kuretake Wood Glass Pen - Cherry Blossoms (櫻花木)

In 2022, during the company's 120th anniversary, Japan's Kuretake introduced the Cherry Blossom Wood Glass Pen and Stand Set. This set is a true work of art, from the rare materials used to the craftmanship involved in creating it.

The wood comes from Mount Yoshina (Nara, Japan), where the cherry trees have been protected from logging for over 1,300 years and is listed as a World Heritage site.

In 2018, several Yoshino cherry trees collapsed due to severe rainfall. Kuretake decided to recycle this precious material into these glass pens.

The pen barrels are handcrafted by skilled artisans. The natural uncoated pen barrel allows you to directly feel the texture of the cherry wood. The curved design of the pen body fits perfectly in your hand, providing an excellent and comfortable grip.

The glass tips, handmade by glass artist Yoshitaka Tajima, offer a smooth writing experience that's suitable for everyday writing, and is available in Fine and Medium nibs.

This set is a true work of art, from the rare cherry wood materials used to the precise craftsmanship involved in creating it.

Founded in 1902 by the sumi craftsman Narakichi Watatani in Nara, Japan, Kuretake has its origin rooted in the traditional Japanese art of sumi ink making. A century later, Kuretakeremains committed to produce high quality calligraphy supplies and art materials to express the traditional colors of Sumi-e Japanese ink painting.

They are best known for their Bokuteki (liquid sumi ink), first released in 1958, and the Fude Pens (brush pens), first released in 1980, both of which have remained as popular staple for over 4 decades. Kuretakelives true to their moto to preserve and promote the “warmth of handwriting” and “goodness of handcrafting”.
