An antithesis to standardized beauty.
That's SAKURA craft_lab010.
What catches the eye is the "hammer tone" painted body.
The uneven bumps, which look as if they were hammered into the surface, change appearance depending on the angle, giving the piece a deep, lingering impression.
What permeates it is a humanity that cannot be achieved through homogenized beauty.
Rather than eliminating unnecessary elements, the unbalanced finish adds flavor and stimulates the senses.
Perhaps the reason for this pen's existence is the adult ease that comes from deliberately straying from perfection .
The hammer-tone body alone does more than describe the beauty of this pen.
Of course, the silhouette that inherits the DNA of the 001, the cherry blossom mark on the top, and the clip that resembles antique glasses are all part of the design, but what is particularly noteworthy is the intricate design applied to the knurled parts.
The connection with the body, created by matching the thickness of the pen, strongly emphasizes the contrast between boldness and delicacy, strength and flexibility, and hardness and softness.
The emotional fluctuations that arise from these opposites will surely stimulate the imagination of the user and create a closer relationship between the object and the person.
This pen is imbued with intelligence and passion that cannot be found in uniform beauty.
Hammertone body
The hammer tone paint creates a unique look.
The textured body fits gently to your fingertips while retaining the warmth of a handmade product.
color
The nib and crown are colored to match each of the three body colors. The rugged texture is combined with contrasting sharp colors to enhance the asymmetrical beauty.
Rotating
By twisting the knurling, like a camera dial, the pen tip quietly appears.
crown
The cherry blossom mark has been carefully carved out, and the ripple pattern that surrounds it is packed with attention to detail in every single part.
