Kakimori Pen Rest - Urushi

$165.00

A pen rest that enhances the moments between writing. Designed to hold any pen without the need for precise placement, it blends effortlessly into your desk space with a subtle but assured presence. The pen rest is lacquered by the fuki-urushi technique that enhances the elegant wood grain of Japanese cherry.

  • Matt fuki-urushi lacquer complements the wood grain
  • Designed for ease of pen placement
  • Holds two to three slim pens


Fuki-urushi is a traditional Japanese lacquering technique that is also widely used in historic architecture. The pen rest is first dyed with <em>sumi</em> 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 complements any desk, while pairing beautifully with our Japanese cherry and aluminium nib holders. Explore your favourite combinations.

Use and Care
  • The presence of glossy surface speckles are due to a build-up of urushi lacquer in the wood fibres and not to be considered a fault. Imperfections are part of the charm of natural wood and we hope you’ll enjoy the uniqueness.
  • To prevent distortion and discolouration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes, extreme heat or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and colour will vary between pieces.
  • If marked with ink, wipe clean with a soft cloth.
