Akashiya – Centuries of Calligraphy Tradition in Your Hands

Founded in 1624 in Nara, the birthplace of Japanese calligraphy, Akashiya has carried on the art of brushmaking for nearly 400 years. What sets them apart is their commitment to integrity in craftsmanship: unlike mass production, each brush is handcrafted from start to finish by a single skilled artisan. This dedication ensures not just quality, but a soul in every piece.

Akashiya’s iconic brush pens—especially the beloved Sai series—are known for their long, well-balanced barrels and silky ink flow that responds beautifully without pressure. International stationery fans often describe them as offering the sensation of holding a traditional brush, but with the ease of a pen.

Balancing centuries of tradition with a spirit of innovation, Akashiya has expanded their reach beyond calligraphy into colored brush pens and even makeup brushes. Their bold approach to preserving and evolving Japanese artistry has made them a bridge between timeless techniques and modern creative expression.

When you hold an Akashiya brush pen, you're not just writing—you’re experiencing a living heritage shaped by history, passion, and meticulous hands.
