Held up to the light the two patterns read separately, one through the other, the way leading and glass read separately in a stained glass panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lattice and the spirals are worked onto the surface of the clear glass, so the light catches them directly. Turn the pen under a lamp and the pattern brightens along whichever side faces it, which is what gives depth to an otherwise colourless barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomoya is a young artisan who came to glass through a beginner's kit he found in a department store, started out of curiosity and taught himself from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pen rest of two fused glass spheres comes with it, patterned on the surface to match the barrel and shaped to hold the wet nib clear of the paper.

The studio's name derives from the elegant 'Gabizan' plant, blending with Sakagami's own name to symbolize the beauty and grace of his creations. Each glass pen crafted by Tomoya is not just a tool but a piece of art, reflecting his commitment to aesthetics and functionality. He started in burner work out of curiosity after stumbling upon a beginner's kit in a department store, and his passion grew as he explored and mastered the craft independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomoya's design choices are deeply influenced by the beauty and continuity of traditional Japanese patterns. He chooses motifs such as hemp leaves and the Shippo Tsunagi not merely for their traditional value but for their stunning visual appeal and the intricate perspectives they offer. His innovative method involves connecting multiple elongated beads, allowing for detailed pattern work without compromising the integrity of the glass. This technique, along with his use of chemical reactions in the glass to create unique color effects, sets his pens apart in both beauty and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabi Kobo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51915967955227,"sku":"GBK0019","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/helix-peacock-glass-dip-pen-full-view-on-white.jpg?v=1789536948","url":"https:\/\/komorebistationery.com\/products\/helix-peacock-glass-dip-pen-with-pen-rest","provider":"Komorebi Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
