Experience the joy of conveying emotions through the pleasing touch of this exquisite brush pen.
Inheriting the brush-making techniques of Nara, each brush pen is meticulously handcrafted, providing an authentic writing experience. Utilizing resilient synthetic fibers, the brush can beautifully express strokes with precision in starts, stops, and lifts. The handcrafted tip, a result of the brush artisan's skill, allows smooth and graceful strokes.
Akashiya takes pride in the brush-making craftsmanship cultivated in the birthplace of Nara. Ancestors of the Mizutani family were artisans in Nara, and the founder, Kairoku, moved to Nara in the early 17th century, establishing Akashiya. Acknowledged as a purveyor to the Imperial Household during the Meiji era, its reputation spread across Japan.
Akashiya's Hanko-style washi brush pen, harmonizing tradition and elegance, is a masterpiece encapsulating Japan's beautiful culture and craftsmanship. With its unique texture and authentic writing experience, it becomes the perfect item for special moments and gifts.
