A Reliable Pen Case That Neatly Stores 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 pasted 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.

This design enhances the beauty of the pattern while maintaining a calm atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy different expressions on the front and back.

The smooth opening and closing, achieved through delicate handwork, provides a pleasant feeling 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.

Each sheet is carefully dyed, resulting in a depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with simple printing.

The finished hand-dyed washi paper is then meticulously assembled by pasted box artisans in Kyoto. Each piece has a subtly different appearance, creating a special feeling just for you.

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

The Wishes and Prayers Embodied in the Ginkgo Pattern

Ginkgo: Sparkle, Bringing Good Luck

The ginkgo tree is a familiar sight on autumn streets. Its fan-shaped leaves turn yellow, creating a golden carpet on the roads, like a scene from a picture book.

This stylish ginkgo tree is incredibly vital, with some trees exceeding 1000 years in age. Its life force is considered sacred, and it is often found as a sacred tree in temples and shrines.

People have entrusted their wishes to the form of the ginkgo tree: its strong vitality for longevity, its spreading leaves for attracting luck, and its golden foliage for improved financial fortune.

Available in two colors: a warm yellow and

a chic gray. 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 from piece to piece.
