Our wish is you can really hold the pen on your hand, touch the body, and experience the amazing balance of the pen. The concept of JAPAN BLUE pen was designed by a group of companies in Oita, Japan, including Oita Made, Nagao Seisakujo, and Wancher Inc. Oita is also the hometown of Wancher inc. From the design, the color shade to the material, the technique used to produce the pen, they all depict true Japanese taste. Japanese traditional color (purplish-blue) is chosen, then created by using true Japanese traditional material – natural indigo (天然藍 in Japanese). Then, the Japanese traditional hammering technique (Tankin 鍛金 in Japanese) which was used to create the traditional Samurai’s sword guard (Tsuba 鍔 in Japanese) is applied to create the body of the JAPAN BLUE pen. Natural color and material – the 1st time in Japan The special Japanese traditional purplish-blue color you see on the JAPAN BLUE pen is created by a traditional technique which is much more complicated than a normal method such as pigment dye. When indigo trees have red flower buds, we must immediately harvest them and use them as material to anodize Aluminum. With this technique, the color of the body of the JAPAN BLUE pen gets very tough and will not change over time like other materials. This is the first time a pen is made with this technique in Japan. The body color changes depending on the degree of light Hammering Samurai’s sword guard JAPAN BLUE pen is inspired by Japanese traditional Samurai’s sword guard (Tsuba 鍔 in Japanese). In Edo spirit, sword guards were always decorated with high-class traditional arts and techniques such as Urushi, Maki-e…..
