Kakimori Nib Holder
A nib holder crafted from Japanese cherry and lacquered by the fuki-urushi technique. Designed for ease of writing, the 7-inch length fits comfortably in the hand like a standard pencil. Fits most nibs as well as those from our range. *Nib sold separately.
Fuki-urushi is a traditional Japanese lacquering technique that is also widely used in historic architecture. The nib holder is first dyed with sumi 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 brings an understated elegance to any desk and writing occasion.

Use and care:
- Nib holder only — nib sold separately.
- To prevent distortion and discolouration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, and 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, clean cloth.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging the nib mount.
- After rinsing, shake well in a downward motion to remove any water or ink from the nib mount before inserting a nib.
