Komon Pattern Kutani Ceramic Ballpoint Pen
This refined Japanese ballpoint pen features a Komon pattern—a traditional motif composed of finely repeated, miniature designs once used in formal kimono. From a distance, Komon appears understated and elegant, but a closer look reveals the intricate detail and craftsmanship embedded in each stroke. Historically worn by samurai and nobility, Komon represents quiet sophistication, harmony, and an appreciation for subtle beauty.
The ceramic sleeve is decorated with vivid colors using traditional Kutani overglaze pigments, bringing the symmetrical Komon pattern to life with depth and texture. Crafted by Seikou Kiln—an esteemed kiln in Ishikawa with over 100 years of history—this pen exemplifies the fusion of heritage and innovation. The ceramic component is made from advanced “new ceramic” material, highly resistant to impact, while retaining the delicate brilliance of porcelain.
Combined with a stainless steel body, this Japanese pen delivers a balanced weight and smooth writing experience. Whether gifted or kept for your own collection, it brings a piece of traditional Japanese art and thoughtfulness to the everyday. A perfect writing companion for those who value beauty in the details.

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.
