[4 color ball-point pen combined into a smooth streamline shape]

An appealing characteristic of Kaba-zaiku is its variety of expressions. Due to natural variations, even the same product can produce different effects, each of which appeal to the strength and beauty of nature. The shape of this product brings out these qualities of Kaba-zaiku. This streamlined art may not reveal its true features at a glance, but actually it is made of four colored ball-point pens. If you spilt the object apart, you will find the colors embedded in each side of the pen. This stationery will bring you joy while subtly expressing the best of Japan's traditional artwork.
