Urushi Nib Holder

$89.50
Kakimori

Explore the world of dip pens with the Urushi Nib Holder by Kakimori. Elegant and understated, this wooden nib holder features a balanced, ergonomic design that rests comfortably in the hand—an ideal 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 universal specifications to fit most standard nibs, the Urushi Nib Holder works especially well with Kakimori's metal nibs or pen nib, and rests beautifully on a desktop with their Hasami Pen Rest. Pair your holder with a nib and bottled ink, and get to writing!

Nib not included.

  • 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.
