Ada Zakura

As a gentle breeze stirs, cherry blossom petals drift and dance through the air—a fleeting moment of spring’s delicate beauty. Inspired by this enchanting scene, we have captured its essence in the design of our Zogan Fountain Pen. This pen embodies the grace of Sakura in bloom, a tribute to the season we eagerly await, where each petal floats like a whispered promise of spring.

Sakura & Momiji

The attractiveness of a Zogan art is how its color changes depending on the angle of light. And to create such a piece of art, not only skills and art sense but great attention to detail is also required.

First, the pearls are cut into the desired motif. Then the craftsmen will carve the surface of the pen body in the exactly same size as the motif. Finally, the carved surface will be inlaid with cut pearls to finish the art.

Available in Urushi edition, Dream Pen Zogan is an artwork created after many months of process. It is made to honor the traditional arts in the form of a writing instrument.
