Rose Yamanaka Fountain Pen

Sale price$93.00 USD

Inspired by the timeless beauty of roses, this Japanese fountain pen features an elegant floral design that stands out against its deep black body. The warm red and gold tones bring a gentle sophistication to the pen, creating a refined contrast that feels both classic and inviting. The motif is applied using high-quality synthetic lacquer, a modern coating carefully finished to achieve the smooth, glossy surface often associated with traditional Japanese lacquerware.

The pen is crafted by Maeju, a long-established lacquer producer founded in 1939 in the Yamanaka region of Ishikawa. With decades of experience in lacquerwork, Maeju brings the spirit of this historic craft into contemporary writing instruments, giving each piece a quiet sense of cultural depth.

The aluminum body rests comfortably in the hand, making it a lovely companion for many moments, from journaling to taking notes at work to signing documents. Its calm elegance adds a touch of beauty to everyday writing.

Maeju Shikki: Crafting Japanese Fountain Pen with Lacquer Mastery

Maeju Shikki, officially known as Maeju Shikki Co., Ltd., is a long-established Japanese lacquerware maker founded in 1939 in Yamanaka Onsen, Japan. Located in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Yamanaka has been renowned for over 400 years as a center of lacquerware production, especially for its exceptional woodturning techniques (rokuro-biki). The lacquerware from this region is beloved for its graceful forms, deep, lustrous red and black tones, and smooth texture that fits comfortably in the hand.

Growing alongside this rich tradition, Maeju played a key role in elevating Yamanaka to become Japan’s top lacquerware-producing region. With over 80 years of history, Maeju has earned its place as a prestigious name in Yamanaka lacquerware, dedicated to sharing the beauty of Japanese lacquer with the world.
