[Pre-Order] Ystudio YAKIHAKU Rollerball Pen (Limited Edition Crafts)

EstimatedShippingDate:7-30daysfromtheorderdate YAKIHAKU PEN – extraordinary craftsmanship “Flat foil” The YAKIHAKU PEN embodied the beauty of Japanese classical aesthetics and traditional craftmanship in ystudio’s brand style. Two editions are presented in this crafts series: Heritage edition and Reborn edition. Ancient Unryhaku – discovered in a Japanese city called Kanazawa by the founder of Rakugei and grandfather of Kohei Murata before the Second World War is used for Heritage edition. Since the original technique used in ancient Unryhaku has scarcely documented, Murata family has been devoted to reviving this mysterious silver foil since the post-war period. Around half a century ago, they successfully created their version of Unryhaku which is used in the Reborn edition of ystudios Unryhaku pen. Each edition has its unique beauty: Heritage edition is more dark-toned, intensifying the glittering vein-like pattern of aged foil while the one used in Reborn edition reveals a subtle pale gold luster as if joyfully celebrating the revitalizing of tradition. Flat foil is originally a special weaving method used on the Japanese traditional garment, kimono. And now, Mr. Murata is dedicated to applying this technique in other fields. In this collaboration, Mr. Murata uses rare material “Unry (means cloud dragon) Foil” and apply on ystudio’s pen with delicate and high-skilled traditional technique. Through this process, the foil reveals the unique tint of vulcanized silver just like a dragon flying in the clouds. ARTIST: Mr. Kohei Murata, the owner of Rakugei and the third generation successor of his family-owned foil technique, started to learn the “Flat foil” technique form his father while studying in university. Since then, Mr. Murata had won many awards in traditional craftsmanship.
