Manu Propria Pens - Susutake & Negoro Yatate Set.

[Manupropria]

Pen and inkwell made from Ebonite with "Negoro-Nuri" Japan lacquer. The pen housed in a "susutake" smoked bamboo case finished with "Fuki-Urushi"

Yatate (矢立) are small personal smoking-pipe-shaped writing sets from medieval Japan which provided a carrying box for the ink cotton, and a shaft for a brush (and possibly a letter opener). Yatate literally means "quiver" ("ya-tate"). The name comes from the practice of early bushi who kept ink stones inside their quivers.

Wish you all a pleasant weekend
