Pelikan M600 Raden
We decorated a Pelikan M800 with raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) for a commission, but the order was later canceled, so the pen is now available. If you’re interested in purchasing it, please message me.

We have expressed a masterpiece by Sakai Hōitsu, one of the leading artists of the Rinpa school in the Edo period, on a demonstrator fountain pen.
I believe it is quite rare to apply maki-e to a demonstrator pen body.

kuniyoshi
Utagawa Kuniyoshi expanded ukiyo-e techniques by drawing inspiration from Western painting, and he captured fleeting expressions in an almost cinematic way. Inspired by that aspect of his work, our workshop created a samurai-themed fountain pen. #fountainpen #matsuzawa #Kunuyoshi
This fountain pen is a faithful revival of a 1930s Namiki design, meticulously reproduced by our workshop. The motif features a squirrel and oak leaves with acorns—so charming and adorable.

These are not official LAMY products—they’re my personal pens—but I decorated them with maki-e insect motifs.
I’m really happy with how they turned out, and I love them.

Caran d’Ache’s annual Zodiac fountain pen series with an urushi finish has come to an end.
It’s especially disappointing for us, because the urushi used for that model was refined by our company.

At a client’s request, we finished a Montblanc Meisterstück 149 in midori tame-nuri. Since the underlying material is translucent, the result has a unique sense of depth with a gentle see-through glow.

This Christmas tree is made using Suruga Take Sensuji Zaiku, a traditional Japanese bamboo craft.
This is a maki-e steering wheel.
I came to Tokyo for the first time in three years. There’s currently an exhibition of traditional crafts at Tokyo Midtown Yaesu near Tokyo Station, where one of my workshop’s maki-e steering wheels is on display. It’s an outdoor exhibit, so it’s freezing out here!

I repaired a Hagi glass teacup and saucer with kintsugi.
Hagi glass is known for its delicate crack patterns, which grow inside each time it’s used with hot water.
Restoring the outer cracks with gold creates a striking contrast between natural and repaired fractures.

Fountain pen featuring the theme of Japan's "Choju-jinbutsu-giga" (Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Humans).
This work is said to be the root of Japanese manga, reportedly drawn by the monk-artist Toba-Sojo (1053-1140) in the 12th century.
