Kakimori Nib Holder – Aizome

A writing instrument that carries both craft and quiet poetry. The Kakimori Nib Holder in Aizome pairs the warmth of Japanese cherry wood with the deep, contemplative tones of traditional indigo dyeing—resulting in something that feels as considered as the words it helps create.

Each piece is hand-dyed by an indigo artisan, giving the wood a rich, inky hue that subtly reveals the grain beneath. Over time, the colour softens and evolves, gradually settling into a true indigo—an object that changes gently alongside your own writing habits. It’s less about permanence, more about a slow, graceful transformation.

Shaped to the familiar proportions of a pencil, it sits comfortably in the hand, making it an easy companion for both writing and illustration. Pair it with your preferred nib and let it adapt to your style—whether precise and measured or expressive and fluid.
