What a weekend! We a very enjoyable time San Francisco Pen Show this year (thank you Ricky, Syed, Todd, and team!). My first time joining Fred and my first time in San Francisco in 30 years. It was great to see everyone in person, some who I have only known through the internet for 6+ years. Safe travels for those heading home. - Jason

A rare exception. Due to the overwhelming number of requests to view Maki-e Master Shogo Hariya's works in person, we are extending the ShiZen Pygmy Woodpecker pre-order.

This piece captures the spirited Japanese Kogera. Its tireless nature beautifully mirrors the quiet, unwavering focus required in the artisan's journey.

To ensure you can experience this artistry firsthand, the new deadline is August 30 at 11:59 PM EST.

Come see the intricate Japanese maki-e works at our table at the SF Pen Show. We will also have artisan proof pens of the ShiZen Pygmy Woodpecker available at the pen show for viewing. If you are missing the trip, the pre-order and special discount code are still available through our profile.

Thank you to everyone who visited our tables at the DC Pen Show. Sharing the art of Maki-e in person is always a privilege.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Master Shogo Hariya for traveling from Japan to demonstrate his generational craft live. Your appreciation for authentic urushi art means everything to us.
