Ebony Wood Screw Cap Fountain Pen

Crafted from rich ebony by master woodworker Yasutaka Takeuchi, this Japanese fountain pen exudes warmth and elegance. Ebony is prized in Japan for its use in decorative panels, musical instruments, and Buddhist altars. It was introduced from China during the Tang dynasty and has remained highly valued ever since. Today, high-quality ebony is rare, making it even more precious.

This dense and durable wood is known for its hardness, making it difficult to shape. Its strength adds to the pen’s exclusivity and appeal. The deep black surface is enriched by subtle grain patterns.
With use, the wood develops a lustrous sheen that reveals its natural beauty over time.

This Japanese fountain pen features a medium nib made by Germany’s DAYACOM, known for smooth writing. It supports both ink cartridges and a converter for bottle ink. This makes it a flexible tool for different writing styles.

Yasutaka Takeuchi: Master of Handcrafted Japanese Fountain Pen

Yasutaka Takeuchi, born in 1981 in Mie Prefecture, is a craftsman who has inherited the essence of traditional Japanese calligraphy brushes, a skill passed down from his grandfather's generation. From a young age, Takeuchi harbored a deep admiration for brush artisans, leading him to apprentice under his uncle after graduating high school. Despite shifting to a stable office job upon marriage, his passion for craftsmanship never waned.

Self-taught, Takeuchi embarked on creating brush prototypes from scratch. His journey into pen-making began serendipitously while researching turning techniques online, where he stumbled upon Japanese pens that captured his imagination.

Takeuchi applies the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional calligraphy brush making, carefully selecting materials and painstakingly shaping and polishing each piece by hand. His pens transcend mere writing instruments, becoming works of art that inspire creativity and innovation in their users.

His Japanese pens embody the pinnacle of Takeuchi's craftsmanship, merging Japanese tradition with the artisan's dedication. Owning and using one of Takeuchi's pens is not just about experiencing the joy and pleasure of a fine writing instrument but also about connecting with the rich traditions and passionate spirit of a Japanese craftsman. Yasutaka Takeuchi's handcrafted pens are more than just tools; they are a valuable addition to any collection, symbolizing the fusion of Japanese tradition and artisanal passion.
