Yūzen Brush Pen

This brush pen from Kyoto is made with both function and Japanese aesthetic traditions in mind. The shaft is covered with carefully designed yūzen washi, a type of ornate Japanese paper with colourful designs that often resemble the elaborate patterns of kimono dyed using the kyō-yūzen technique. Perfect for practicing either calligraphy or painting, the beautiful design of the brush pen provides inspiration as you work.
