Galaxy Express Glass Dip Pen
Step into the mesmerizing universe captured within Yumi🪐 Yumi's Galaxy Express Glass Pen. This enchanting piece draws inspiration from the Japanese novel Night on the Galactic Railroad by Kenji Miyazawa. The story follows the protagonist and his friend as they board the Galactic Railroad, traveling from the Northern Cross of Cygnus through the Milky Way, and onward to the Southern Cross, all while reflecting on the meaning of life. In homage to this journey, the pen features Cygnus on its right side and the Southern Cross on its left, beautifully embedded within the glass.
Inside the glass, a tiny train glides through a cosmos adorned with stars crafted from synthetic opal, each glistening with a rainbow of colors as they catch the light with every stroke of the pen. Beyond these stars, intricate patterns emulate a galaxy in three-dimensional depth, reminiscent of NASA's Hubble Telescope image of galaxy NGC 2336.
Yumi meticulously handcrafts each pen from start to finish. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every pen is truly unique, with variations in shape, length, and motif placement—much like the countless galaxies that span our universe. Each pen is a one-of-a-kind cosmic journey, blending the artistry of human hands with the wonders of the cosmos.
Bring this charming and fantastical universe to life in your hands and let its magic inspire every word you write.
