THE CLASSIC COLLECTION
As the first pen ever introduced by Kyuseido, the Kakari draws its inspiration from the brand’s fighting spirit and commitment to design and quality. “Kakari” is the name of a move from the ancient game of Go, usually played in the starting turns as a challenge to the other player. Kakari represents our first move in the stationery world and our indomitable spirit.
The titanium parts on this pen are finished with a machine brushed texture.
The Kyuseido Kosumi FS is the second fountain pen model from Kyuseido. “Kosumi” is the name of a move from the ancient game of Go, played as an extension of a previous move. The Kyuseido Kosumi FS features a 9 faceted cap design, introducing brutalist design to the elegant round barrel.

THE MOKUME-GANE COLLECTION
Mokume-gane is an artisanal Japanese metalworking technique taking several different metals and forging them into a single piece of material. The word Mokume-gane (木目金) translates to “Woodgrain/Woodeye” (Mokume - 木目) “Metal” (Gane - 金) and is characterized by its distinct woodgrain pattern formed by the layering of different metals.
As this is an artisan material, no two pens are identical and will have their own unique expressions and imperfections but all of these pens will evolve with the user to become pieces of art in their own right.
The Mokume-gane is also available in the Kyuseido Kosumi FS model.

THE URUSHI COLLECTION
The Kyuseido Kakari Natsu-Ajisai Summer Hydrangea is the second in our series of four limited edition collections inspired by the four seasons. This series was made in collaboration with Sophia from Urushi Notes to create this limited edition of 9 pens that will make its debut at the California Pen Show in February 2026.
Starting in June, the transition of Spring to Summer in Japan is marked by the arrival of the rainy season also known as Tsuyu (梅雨). During this time, the country is marked with vibrant blooms of blue, purple, and pink hydrangeas which transform the neighbourhoods into picturesque scenes. It has become the symbolic flower of this change in season, signalling the arrival of the warmer months.
In the past, hydrangea were also known as Nanahenge (七変化), or “seven transformations”, as a reference to their ever changing appearance as a result of the changes in pigments to different environmental factors. Over time, hydrangeas have come to represent sincerity, heartfelt emotions, gratitude, and apology.
Each pen is numbered from 1 to 9 with the artist’s signature. Please note that these images shown here are representative photos of the pen, and there will be slight variations in colors and patterns between the different numbered editions.
