A Beautiful and Practical Pen Case Woven with Traditional Patterns and Craftsmanship

The "Happy Patterns" series is an original design by Fuwa Market, created in collaboration with textile designers, focusing on the "meaning of wishing for happiness" inherent in Japanese traditional patterns.

One pattern in the series, the pine, has been a symbol of "eternal youth and longevity" because it retains its green leaves year-round and endures harsh winters.

We have modernized auspicious motifs to fit contemporary lifestyles.

✔ Meticulous Craftsmanship: Carefully finished one by one at a specialized box-making factory in Kyoto.
✔ Modern Traditional Patterns: Six types of patterns available in two colors, offering a variety of choices.
✔ Excellent Practicality: Functions as a pen case, glasses case, or small item organizer.
✔ Ideal for Premium Gifts: The "Happy Patterns" convey special sentiments.

A Reliable Pen Case That Neatly Holds Your Essentials

This pen case is perfectly sized to hold various writing instruments such as fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and pencils.

It can comfortably store about 5 ballpoint pens, along with a ruler and sticky notes.

Beyond being a pen case or pencil case, its versatility is a key appeal, allowing it to be used as a glasses case, accessory case, or for portable sewing kits and first-aid kits, depending on your imagination.

Its sturdy box construction protects the contents, ensuring it can be used and loved for a long time. It's a dependable companion for your daily life.

A Design That is Beautiful to Use, Inside and Out

We've paid attention to beauty even when opened, using hand-dyed washi paper with an Ichimatsu (checkerboard) pattern on the inner bottom. The color scheme, balanced with the outer pattern, creates a sophisticated impression.

Simple plain paper is used for the bottom surface.

While enhancing the beauty of the pattern, the calm atmosphere created by the plain paper allows for enjoyment of different expressions on the front and back.

The smooth opening and closing, achieved through delicate handwork, provides a sense of comfort with every use.

Craftsmanship That Highlights the Charm of Hand-Dyeing

The hand-dyed washi paper used in this pen case is individually finished by Yuzen Washi dyeing artisans at a specialized factory in Kyoto.

Its appeal lies in the deep colors and unique texture achieved through traditional techniques.

Looking closely at the pattern reveals the delicate layering of colors, unique to hand-dyeing.

The subtle variations in shade and bleeding enhance the texture, creating a one-of-a-kind beauty.

Careful dyeing for each plate creates a depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with simple printing.

The finished hand-dyed washi paper is then meticulously assembled by Kyoto box-making artisans, one piece at a time. The subtly different expressions of each piece create a sense of exclusivity for you.

Please experience the charm of this texture and warmth, born from the hands of artisans.

The Pine: A Symbol of Prosperity

The pine is a plant that Japanese people have long cherished as a sacred symbol.

Its ability to retain its green leaves even in the cold winter has led to wishes for "eternal youth and longevity," and the characteristic of having both male and female flowers bloom on a single tree has led to wishes for "prosperity of descendants."

Since the Edo period, it has been an indispensable presence in both arts and daily life, depicted on the back walls of Noh stages as a plant where gods reside, and used to create Kadomatsu (pine decorations) to welcome the New Year's deity.

The pine's strong vitality and beauty continue to be loved by many people today.

Available in two colors: a healing green and a warm orange. While the colors are subdued, they possess individuality and add a touch of subtle elegance to your desk.

*Please note that due to the cutting of large sheets of paper, the pattern placement may vary between individual items.
