Sakura Yamanaka Ballpoint Pen

Sale price$52.00 USD

Elegant and refined, the Sakura Yamanaka Ballpoint Pen celebrates the timeless beauty of Sakura (cherry blossoms) in Japanese culture. Delicate pink sakura petals bloom across the barrel, evoking grace, renewal, and the fleeting charm of spring.

Maeju, a historic leader in Yamanaka lacquerware, crafted this pen using synthetic lacquer with skilled artisans. The textured, three-dimensional finish provides depth and brilliance, replicating the look of traditional Japanese lacquerware. Gold accents and hand-finished floral details make it a standout in any Japanese stationery collection.

The smooth ballpoint tip delivers precise writing and reliability for daily use. Its balanced design offers comfort, and the cap can be securely posted on the top while writing. Presented in a wooden gift box, it’s ideal for birthdays, graduations, or anyone who loves Japanese pens and culture.

A matching fountain pen is also available: the Sakura Yamanaka Fountain Pen.
