Urushi Nib Holder

Dive into the world dip pens with the Urushi Nib Holder by Kakimori. Elegant and understated, this wooden nib holder features an ergonomic shape and balanced length that fit comfortably in the hand—making it the perfect companion for long, unhurried writing sessions. 

Fuki-urushi is a traditional Japanese technique for finishing wood, widely used in historic architecture. The wood is dyed with ink, then finished with a matte black lacquer, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood grain. 

Designed to fit most standard nibs, the Urushi Nib Holder works especially well with Kakimori's metal nibs or pen nib, and rests nicely on a desktop with their Hasami Pen Rest. As part of our Slow Living Collection, Kakimori's dip pens encourage us to take a moment out of our busy days to intentionally practice the art of writing by hand.
