Precious Wood Black Persimmon Thick Urushi-Finished Pen

ALTE STYLE is the stationery division of ALTE MEISTER, a manufacturer of Buddhist altars and ritual objects. Founded in 1900, ALTE MEISTER has technical expertise in traditional crafts such as woodworking and lacquerware. Utilizing these techniques, ALTE STYLE develops and produces stationery with material texture derived from these craft methods.

This is a popular model from a ballpoint pen series made with fine woods. The wood used, black persimmon, features rare black streaks resembling ink paintings that appear only in a small portion of the material. Each pattern is unique and cannot be artificially reproduced, and the gradations of black create a scenic effect, adding depth and elegance to your desk. The more it is polished, the deeper its luster; the more it is used, the richer its character becomes.

The black persimmon barrel is carved and polished, then coated with applied lacquer to enhance its shine. The lacquer is a precious Japanese product sourced from the brand’s home region in Aizu, Fukushima.

A single-pen tray is included, made from horse chestnut (Tochi) wood.
