Kakimori Nib Holder - Sakura Wood

*Nib holder only — nib sold separately*

A nib holder crafted from Japanese cherry. Enjoy a natural patina that evolves with you for a lifetime of writing. Designed to universal specifications to fit a standard nib of your choice. 

Experience the texture and feel of natural wood. Japanese cherry is characterised by the reddening of its colour over time, allowing you to enjoy the pen’s unique transformation. The nib holder is treated with an ink-resistant finish, providing practicality without compromising the natural texture.

In today’s world there are fewer and fewer opportunities to write by hand. Focusing on the simplicity of the dip pen, we developed a range of interchangeable nibs and nib holders.

Versatile and designed for long-lasting ownership, they represent a new kind of writing tool for our era.

A nib holder that emerged from our desire to create a tool that inspires a lifetime of use, bringing joy to our hands and soul. From the timeless material to the comfortable thickness, form and length, each and every detail has been carefully considered to create a perfect fit.
