“Precious wood fountain pen” series
This fountain pen is made from precious natural wood, which is known as a high-quality furniture material. This is an original fountain pen that allows you to feel the warmth of the wood. As you use it, the color and luster will change and you can enjoy the aging process, making it your one and only writing instrument in this world. The pen tip is a German (alloy made by DAYACOM) that is loved by people all over the world, and the converter (built-in) and cartridge are replaceable.
<Features>
Ordinary persimmons are known as “white persimmons” because of their pure white wood skin with no grain.
It has a small diameter and is severely twisted, making it worthless as a material, but a black persimmon with black stripes has been found extremely rarely (it is said to be one in 10,000) and is prized. (It is impossible to tell whether a standing persimmon tree is a white persimmon or a black persimmon based on its appearance.)
It is the rarest and highest grade of domestically produced wood, and is one of the most valuable and highly prized woods in the world. It is a work of art created by nature, with only one in 10,000 appearing or not appearing.
Its unique and beautiful striped pattern changes to a deeper color and luster the more it is used due to the oil content of black persimmons, giving it a personality worthy of being called a top-quality product.
<Producing area>
It grows wild in western Honshu and south of Japan, but it is widely planted throughout the country as a fruit tree.
<Color tone>
There is not much difference in the sapwood, and the whole tree is pale orange-brown in color. The heartwood is irregularly formed, and rarely has black stripes or shading, and such wood is called kurogaki and has been prized since ancient times. Peacock heather, which resembles the pattern of peacock feathers, may also appear.
<Application>
It is used for Japanese furniture, floor pillars, architectural decorations, tea utensils, etc. (It was also loved by Sen no Rikyu).
<Request regarding storage of refills>
