“The world's first Kumihimo Pen”
Tokyo Kumihimo (Braided Cords) is the technique of weaving silk threads to create a braid using a traditional braiding loom.
The craftsman of Tokyo Kumihimo, Ryuta Fukuda wants people from overseas to use the Kumihimo.
How can foreign people use the Kumihimo on a daily basis? This pen was born from this feeling.
For developing a pen, he devised a hollow dual structure for the first time in the history of Kumihimo's in 1,400 years.
A tubular hollow structure braid is used so that the core of the pen can be stored.
