Kakimori Nib Holder - Urushi

A nib holder crafted from Japanese cherry and lacquered by the fuki-urushi technique. Designed for ease of writing, the 7-inch length fits comfortably in the hand like a standard pencil. Fits most nibs as well as those from our range.

Fuki-urushi is a traditional Japanese lacquering technique that is also widely used in historic architecture. The nib holder is first dyed with sumi ink before being overlaid with black lacquer to showcase the beauty of both the lacquer and the wood grain.

The simplicity of the matt lacquer brings an understated elegance to any desk and writing occasion.

Nib sold separately. Choose from a variety of nib styles.
