[Product Overview]
Made in Japan
A sophisticated ballpoint pen featuring a luxurious black finish and gold metal trim. The textured surface, the shimmer of gold powder, and the vibrant, delicate Japanese patterns are all rendered using traditional modern techniques.
It gives a formal and intellectual impression. The rotating mechanism combines a black/red ballpoint pen and a 0.5mm mechanical pencil into one pen, allowing for smooth switching!
This single pen can handle a variety of uses, including writing, correcting, and taking notes. Founded in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata, the company launched the "Double Action" in 1979, becoming a pioneer in multi-functional ballpoint pens.
This long-established writing instrument manufacturer has been supporting Japan's writing culture for many years through its robust and reliable craftsmanship and innovative mechanisms.
Unlike actual maki-e (lacquerware with gold or silver powder), this technique involves applying gold, silver, and other colored powders by hand, one by one, to a silk-screen printed background design, rather than using lacquer.
This ballpoint pen has a thicker texture than regular printing, and the reflection and shading of the powder create a three-dimensional feel. It's a luxurious item that's perfect as a treat for yourself, and also makes a wonderful gift for people overseas, as it evokes a sense of Japan.
It comes in a special presentation box, giving it a luxurious appearance.
