Yakushima Cedar Wood Screw Cap Fountain Pen

This Japanese fountain pen is made from Yakusugi, or Yakushima Cedar, a legendary tree from Yakushima Island in Japan. Yakusugi grows slowly in harsh mountain climates, adding only a few millimeters of growth each year.
Its dense grain and rich color set it apart from ordinary cedar used in most Japanese pens. Each tree used has fallen naturally, making this pen both eco-friendly and incredibly rare. Strict protection laws mean only select artisans can work with this precious material.

The dense wood gives the pen remarkable strength and lasting durability for daily use. You’ll enjoy not only the beautiful grain but also the pen’s connection to Japan’s natural heritage.

This Japanese fountain pen features a medium nib by Germany’s DAYACOM, offering smooth and consistent ink flow. It accepts both standard cartridges and bottled ink via a converter for flexible use. 
Perfect for anyone seeking refined Japanese pens that honor tradition and craftsmanship.

Yasutaka Takeuchi: Master of Handcrafted Japanese Fountain Pen

Yasutaka Takeuchi, born in 1981 in Mie Prefecture, is a craftsman who has inherited the essence of traditional Japanese calligraphy brushes, a skill passed down from his grandfather's generation. From a young age, Takeuchi harbored a deep admiration for brush artisans, leading him to apprentice under his uncle after graduating high school. Despite shifting to a stable office job upon marriage, his passion for craftsmanship never waned.

Self-taught, Takeuchi embarked on creating brush prototypes from scratch. His journey into pen-making began serendipitously while researching turning techniques online, where he stumbled upon a pen that captured his imagination.

Takeuchi applies the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional calligraphy brush making, carefully selecting materials and painstakingly shaping and polishing each piece by hand. His Japanese pens transcend mere writing instruments, becoming works of art that inspire creativity and innovation in their users.

Each Japanese fountain pen by Yasutaka Takeuchi reflects the pinnacle of his craftsmanship, blending tradition with true artisanal dedication. Owning and using one is not just about the joy of writing—it’s about connecting with Japan’s rich heritage and the soul of a craftsman. More than a tool, Japanese pens from Takeuchi are treasured pieces for those who value tradition and artistry.
