Seikou Kiln – A Piece of Kutani Tradition for Your Desk
Founded in the early 1900s in Ishikawa Prefecture, Seikou Kiln has spent over a century mastering the vibrant art of Kutani ware. From their beginnings as hand-painting artisans, they’ve led the way in making high-quality ceramics that blend seamlessly into daily life—beautiful enough to admire, yet practical enough to use.
Their pen holders and ballpoint pens bring that same philosophy to your desk. Each piece features the signature rich colors and glossy finish of Kutani ware, crafted using in-house developed glazes and fired in one of 14 electric kilns—the largest production scale in the region.
But these aren’t just tools. Holding one in your hand means holding a story—of centuries-old craft, generations of innovation, and a deep respect for Japanese artistry. It’s the kind of stationery that quietly says, “This was made in a kiln that’s been perfecting its technique for over 100 years.”
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a personal treasure, Seikou’s writing tools are more than beautiful—they’re part of a living tradition.
