Kakimori Hasami Pen Rest - Karayaki

This elegantly-crafted Hasami Pen Rest is brought to you by designer Makoto Koizumi from Kakimori. The sinuous and organic shape is inspired by the natural form of water droplets, and comes in two different sizes which fits one pen or two pens respectively. Hasami porcelain(波佐見焼) originated from the town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture, and is one of the most prominent pottery craftsmanship in Japan. All of the Hasami Pen Rest are carefully handcrafted by traditional artisans at the local pottery studio, Koushun-gama. To delve deeper into the journey of Hasami porcelain with Kakimori, please visit here for the beautiful backstory behind this pen rest.

Four varieties of glaze finishes, including Yuteki(Black), Kindei(Gold), Ruri(Lapis Lazuli), and Karayaki(White), are thoughtfully selected to represent different craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Hasami Porcelain.

Karayaki is the natural, white color of porcelain clay without any glaze finish. It has a silky and colorless texture that will match any pen perfectly.
