    Default Manu Propria Pens - New Pen Design - "IKIGAI"

    Ikigai is a new pen concept that allows to play with different lacquers, the cap and barrel end-piece in jet-black "Shôen" lacquer, the section and barrel in any desired urushi lacquer. The gold accents are "Maki-e" gold lacquer

    "IKIGAI" is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word "ikigai" is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. The word translated to English roughly means "thing that you live for" or "the reason for which you wake up in the morning." Each individual's ikigai is personal to them and specific to their lives, values and beliefs. It reflects the inner self of an individual and expresses that faithfully, while simultaneously creating a mental state in which the individual feels at ease. Activities that allow one to feel ikigai are never forced on an individual; they are often spontaneous, and always undertaken willingly, giving the individual satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life.

    Merry Christmas

    I love it. Especially with the concept behind the design of the pen.

    Sometimes I feel that a lot of custom pen makers are missing that concept. So the end result looks like just another pen-shaped thing made out of fancy materials.

    So my compliments to you in this regard.
