Introducing the Kuretake Senbonzakura Glass Dip Pen Set—where Japanese heritage craftsmanship meets sculptural artistry.
This exquisite writing instrument pairs a slender cherry blossom wood barrel with a hand-blown glass nib, each one individually crafted by master glass artist Yoshitaka Tajima.
The luminous, hard glass nib delivers a uniquely responsive writing experience, while the warm wood body becomes increasingly comfortable in hand with use.
Every pen is truly one-of-a-kind. The barrel originates from a natural cherry tree felled during Typhoon Jebi in 2018 on Mount Yoshino—a material steeped in history and character. No two pieces share identical colour or grain, making each set a singular collector's treasure.
The accompanying cherry wood pillow cradles your pen between uses, carved from the same reclaimed timber as the barrel.
At just 14g, the pen feels substantial yet graceful—a meditation on balance between weight and presence.
Completely handmade, it bridges traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary craft values, ideal for discerning writers and collectors who treasure authenticity over uniformity.
Includes matching cherry wood pillow. Made in Japan by Kuretake, a heritage brand since 1902.
