Kakimori Nib Holder - Aizome

Designed to universal specifications to fit all standard nibs, the Kakimori nib holder will travel with you for a lifetime of writing.

Size: 7" length

Aizome: Finished by aizome, Japanese indigo dyeing. Aizome (Japanese indigo dyeing) is a plant-based dyeing technique that has long been part of Japanese culture. Wood dyeing requires advanced skill — the rich indigo hue is a result of careful trial and error by our artisans, and will gradually develop a deep patina with use. The beeswax finish adds a natural sheen.

Nib holder only — nib sold separately.

Care & Use: 
To prevent distortion and discolouration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
The nib holder will gradually brighten to a true indigo colour with use and handling.If the nib holder becomes dry, apply some beeswax.
Friction may cause the colour or beeswax finish to transfer.
Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and colour will vary between pieces.
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.
