DESIGN
Designed together with Makoto Koizumi, the form was inspired by droplets and gently cradles your pen. Kakimori chose glazes that best complement the Kakimori aesthetic from the countless varieties at its kiln Koushun-gama. Experience the unique character of pottery and the result of fascinating glaze chemistry. The perfect partner for your dip pen. The height has been considered for ease of placement and handling to support your pen while inked.
DETAILS
Koushun-gama is located in the town of Hasami in Nagasaki prefecture. The kiln’s traditional chimney stack comes into view as you travel uphill through the town’s picturesque streets. These pen rests are crafted by artisans in a region steeped in ceramic history;
The Kakimori logo is hand stamped on the base during the casting stage in a nod to the artisanship behind each piece. The crisp white porcelain is brought to life by a variety of glazes. Kakimori's initial idea of having one or two colours quickly grew to testing an array of glazes after seeing their exquisite beauty firsthand. Kakimori finally selected four glazes that accentuate the character of Hasami ware and complement a wide range of pens.
KARAYAKI CERAMIC
The natural colour of Hasami porcelain clay. The soft matte white partners beautifully with pens of any material. The moulded pen rests are fired without glazing, allowing the smooth, silky texture of raw porcelain to be enjoyed. The clay’s natural composition gives unique surface variations to each piece.
The simple matte lacquer complements any desk space and pairs well with our Japanese cherry and aluminium nib holders. Enjoy your own combination.
Fuki-urushi is a traditional technique that is also widely used in historic architecture. Our pen rest and nib holder are ink-dyed before being lacquered to highlight both the beauty of the woodgrain and the lacquer itself.
