The spiral beauty of the Japanese traditional techniques

The inspiration of JINPU Dream Ballpoint Pen

The story of JINPU - Dream Ballpoint pen dates back to when Mr. Okagaki was only a child. From his first encounter with the Jinpu-kaku (仁風閣) in Tottori Castle, Japan, he was fascinated by the irresistible shape of the spiral staircases - a distinctive trait of French Renaissance architecture. The more he explore the world, the more he got attracted to the philosophy behind this shape and how it appears as an important part in the almost every aspect of life, such as the double helix structure of human DNA. Driven by this immense inspiration, JINPU ballpoint pen has come to this world. Not only is it a reminiscence of Mr. Okagaki's childhood memory of the Jinpu-kaku staircase, but it is also the result of the years of hardworking to combine Japanese traditional techniques on to a modern writing instrument.

Making Process

JINPU Ballpoint pen is created with carefully-selected material and the combination of both traditional and modern techniques.

JINPU - Ebony: A unique twist of the precious wood material

With its unique "striped grain" and strong quality, Ebony wood is chosen to express the beautiful spiral shape of JINPU ballpoint pen. This time. we have entrusted high-skilled artisans from Gunma, Japan to create this complicated shape. With their experience in making classical music instruments for decades, our artisans have managed to completed a beautiful ballpoint pen in the spiral shape that exceeds our expectation. For a closer look of Ebony edition, please visit here.

JINPU - Tamamushi: A combination of modern and traditional art

JINPU being very unique in shape can be complemented even more by Urushi Lacquer. We are so glad to bring together two traditional and modern techniques: Echizen lacquering art with a 1500 years of history, and Tamamushi-nuri technique - the modern-times technique developed from the Showa era. As a result, the two arts blending wonderfully, creating a magnificent finish that you can enjoy and appreciate for many years to come. 

Mechanism

Dream Ballpoint Pen JINPU comes with a smooth twisting mechanism that aligns with its distinctive spiral shape. As you retracting and contracting the pen tip, you can observe the special charm of spiral shape. This characteristic becomes even more special with the Tamamushi finish, as the wine red lacquer finish will shimmer and sparkle like a littering curve whenever you use.

SK-8 from MITSUBISHI PENCIL CO, LTD., a Japanese leading stationery maker, is adopted for the refill. It will ensure you a smooth writing experience with juicy flow that dries quickly. The pen is also available with International Cross Ballpoint pen refills.

Sterling Silver 925 Ring

The 925 Sterling Silver Ring is another special feature of JINPU, which adds an elegant touch to the overall design. Located in the middle of barrel, the silver ring maintains a weight balance while also adding a zest to the design. JINPU ring is crafted from authentic silver and plated with gold by specialized craftsmen in Kyoto.
