Introducing the Kuretake Kumeginga Fountain Pen – Shikatsuno Kodai Aizome (Deer Antlers), an exquisite writing instrument that embodies traditional Japanese craftsmanship and natural beauty.

Rich Heritage of Indigo Dyeing
For over 800 years, Tokushima Prefecture in Japan has been renowned for its indigo dyeing, utilizing the plant Persicaria tinctoria (Japanese indigo). Kuretake has collaborated with dyeing expert Somenotsukasa Yoshioka to infuse this traditional indigo dye into the pen barrel of the Kumeginga fountain pen, creating a unique and vibrant finish.

Unique Craftsmanship
Each pen barrel is crafted from deer antlers, showcasing its own distinct color variations and natural antler veins. The antler material offers a delicate, jade-like texture that feels smooth and luxurious in one’s hand.

Sustainable Sourcing
The pen barrels are crafted from recycled antlers sourced from Nara deer, which are carefully harvested by experts to prevent injuries among the deer population. Due to the limited availability of suitable antlers, the production of these exquisite pens is rare, making each piece truly special.

Premium Writing Experience
Each Kuretake Kumeginga Fountain Pen is fitted with a high-quality German-made 14K gold nib, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable writing experience.

Elevate your writing with the Kuretake Kumeginga Fountain Pen – Akanezome Shikatsuno, where exquisite craftsmanship and sustainable practices come together to create a truly remarkable writing instrument.

Founded in 1902 by the sumi craftsman Narakichi Watatani in Nara, Japan, Kuretake has its origin rooted in the traditional Japanese art of sumi ink making. A century later, Kuretakeremains committed to produce high quality calligraphy supplies and art materials to express the traditional colors of Sumi-e Japanese ink painting.

They are best known for their Bokuteki (liquid sumi ink), first released in 1958, and the Fude Pens (brush pens), first released in 1980, both of which have remained as popular staple for over 4 decades. Kuretakelives true to their moto to preserve and promote the “warmth of handwriting” and “goodness of handcrafting”.
