Sakura Wood Nib Holder
A nib holder crafted from Japanese cherry (sakura). Used along with a nib and fountain pen ink, the holder creates a dip pen suitable for fine writing or illustration. Designed to universal specifications to fit most standard nibs, the Sakura Wood Nib Holder works especially nicely with Kakimori's metal nibs or pen nib, and pairs nicely on a desktop with their Sakura Wood Pen Rest.

Nib not included.
Care:
- If marked with ink, wipe clean with a soft cloth.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging 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.
- The color of the Aizome nib holder will gently fade to a true indigo with use. If the wood becomes dry, polish with beeswax to restore its luster.
