🎨 Materials

🦌 Kyoto Deer Leather (Kyoshika)
Leather from Japanese deer culled in Kyoto. This material utilizes life without waste as a leather product, and ariga-to uniquely refers to it as "Kyoto Deer Leather." It is characterized by beautiful color development, a rich variety of colors, and a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.
🌲 Yakusugi Cedar
Made from Yakusugi cedar wood over 1000 years old. Please enjoy the warm wood grain that evokes the bounty of the island.

🪡 Hand-stitched tailoring

All products are handmade. Each stitch is tightened individually, resulting in beautiful and very durable stitching.

🍃 Individuality of wild leather

*Scars and blemishes on wild leather are left as they are within the product.

We hope you will appreciate the marks of wild life and the evidence of male deer fighting as part of its charm.

* When the ballpoint pen is new, the grease inside may be stiff, and it might feel heavy when rotating the refill to extend the tip. However, it will become smoother with use and can eventually be operated with one hand.
* Yakusugi cedar is relatively soft among the woods used for ballpoint pens. To prevent damage, please wrap it in the Yakushika case when not in use.
* The refill can be replaced with "Mitsubishi SK-8" (available for purchase on Amazon, etc.).

A pen and case presented with words about Yakusugi cedar

The symbolic meaning of "Yakusugi cedar" is 'longevity, prosperity, protection from evil, and good fortune.'

It makes a welcome gift for anyone.

We made a case from Kyoto deer leather specifically to encase this single pen, crafted by a master pen maker.
