Perhaps we are witnessing the decline of a traditional craft firsthand. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53382587797_c5f150c4ee_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383820659_ba79a74c68_b.jpg "As an artisan dedicated to this craft, have you ever considered how it could be passed down?" "No. I am 75 years old this year, and I've been doing this work for over 50 years. All I can do now is live healthily and continue until I can no longer work..." Mr. Ito said slowly after a few seconds of silence. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383948335_51311eef2b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383514046_1dc0164d63_b.jpg After genuine exchanges with Mr. Ito, we found renewed courage and a sense of responsibility. Within our capabilities, we are doing our utmost to share their stories and skills. This is our humble yet heartfelt endeavor to perpetuate craft culture. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383824699_85b0a7dc27_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383514091_80c6493b6e_b.jpg The Orchid Pattern Kazari-kane Ballpoint Pen has been meticulously designed and weighted. The pen's interior features corresponding damping and feedback mechanisms. The smooth, balanced ink flow as the nib glides across paper is the best testament to this. An anti-air seal is incorporated within the cap to reduce ink drying. The tension of the anti-air seal creates a crisp metallic click when the cap is closed, a natural sound that deepens the sensory connection between the user and the object. The Kazari-kane fountain and ballpoint pens do not feature direct appliqué on the brass body. Instead, copper pieces, meticulously worked through engraving, stamping, and trimming, are inlaid into grooves on the brass pen. Twelve precisely engraved copper pieces are repeatedly embedded to form a complete Orchid Pattern Kazari-kane pen. Every step and detail in this process is the result of repeated discussions and tests between Taiwanese and Japanese partners. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53382592222_bd33ea5694_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53383827669_1cca6f96ea_b.jpg YSTUDIO's Craftsmanship Series collaborates with Japanese artisans, not merely as a formal union. From the pen's design and prototyping to material selection and testing, every stage is undertaken with deep admiration and passion for craftsmanship, dedicating all our effort and time to create these exceptionally rare and unparalleled writing instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W_TXOpMJ9Q *Product Specifications* Materials: Brass, Copper, 14K Gold Nib, Hot Stamped Wooden Box Product Dimensions: 11.2 x 12 x 130mm Packaging Dimensions: 115 x 185 x 50 mm Weight: 66.5g (Net), 197g (Gross) Ink System: Comes with a converter, compatible with ink cartridges
