Twist Action Pencil – Chiyogami Yuken – 50109

spydasweb — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:08:53 +0000

This contemporary looking twist action pencil was made was made to compliment a similar project from last year.

The central body has a tube covered in Chiyogami Yuken. This is a beautifully screen printed paper from Japan. The designs were originally based on the bright kimono textiles from the Edo period (1603 – 1868) which the papermakers from the countryside saw on fashionable wealthier ladies in larger cities. Ciyogami, literally thousand generation (chiyo) paper (gami), is meticulously produced by hand. Each layer of colour is silk screened on individually. This chosen pattern is 日本の女の子 or Japanese Girl. The rolled paper was then cast in resin before being hand turned to shape. Several grades of abrasives were then used to polish the pen barrel followed by a final buffing with metal polish.

The metal fittings have a highly polished Chrome finish to contrast with the highly polished titanium coloured components at either end.

A black Parker type refill is fitted as standard, but can easy be changed by carefully unscrewing the lower black section from the coloured part of the pen. This standard refill can be purchased at most stationary stores.

Since each pen is a unique work of art, exact duplicates are not possible. But, I will do my best to create duplicates of the pen if requested
