Kakimori Nib Holder – Aizome

A nib holder that emerged from our desire to create a tool that inspires a lifetime of use, bringing joy to our hands and soul. From the timeless material to the comfortable thickness, form and length, each and every detail has been carefully considered to create a perfect fit. The 7-inch length is similar to that of a standard pencil. Designed to universal specifications to fit all standard nibs, the nib holder will travel with you for a lifetime of writing.

A nib holder crafted from Japanese cherry and finished by aizome, Japanese indigo dyeing. The elegant wood grain is accentuated by the deep indigo finish. Each nib holder is hand dyed with care by an indigo artisan. The colour will gently fade to a true indigo with use. If the wood becomes dry, polish with beeswax to restore its lustre.

Use and Care:

• 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.
• Insert into the nib holder with a gentle twist until fully seated. To remove, twist and pull slowly forceful removal may dislodge 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.
