Mitsubishi's patented graphite production process is the heart and soul of every Hi-Uni. The carbon particle size is incredibly small and evenly distributed through the lead, creating Hi-Uni's signature smooth feel and generous laydown. No other graphite manufacturer comes close to Hi-Uni's combination of creamy texture, strength, and point retention. Even the harder grades are smooth, and the softer grades are unbelievably dark and rich.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHi-Uni's core is encased in beautiful California incense cedar. The reddish color stands out immediately when you sharpen Hi-Uni. Then you'll notice the distinctive cedar fragrance, which, due to the high grade of wood used, is much more intense than other cedar pencils. Finally, if you're using a good sharpener, you'll see that the wood of a Hi-Uni neatly curls off the pencil in a long, continuous spiral. The lead is precisely centered in the wood case, so long-point sharpeners work perfectly with Hi-Uni and don't break the lead.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough the unfinished wood is gorgeous in its own right, Mitsubishi doesn't stop there. Hi-Uni is dipped in an extra-thick layer of glossy, deep burgundy lacquer, which makes the pencil both attractive and super smooth to the touch. The company name and logo are stamped in gold on one side, and the pencil's grade is stamped on all six sides so you can always grab the right one at a glance.

More commonly, manufacturers announce refinements to existing products, new colors, etc., but the analog art materials business is a very old one, and it's often thought that there's nothing really new to be invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stainless steel dip pen nib from Kakimori is a rare exception. We've never seen anything quite like it: a conical nib with eight capillary slits carved into the sides, capable of holding a surprising amount of ink near the surface of the nib. Submerge the Kakimori Stainless Steel Nib in pigment ink, liquid watercolor, or any other water-based artist ink, and it quickly fills with color. Then, you can write or draw for a long time before needing to dip again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just the high capacity that distinguishes this nib from traditional dip pens. It's an incredibly expressive sketching tool, because the ink is continually drawn to the variously shaped surfaces of the nib through capillary action. The ink doesn't run and drip; it adheres to the tip and the wider, wedge-shaped areas around it. As a result of this unique design, you can quickly transition between line weights, shapes, and flow rates by turning and angling the nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine-pointed stainless steel nib is the first dip pen we've ever considered using for everyday writing and note-taking, because you can fill a whole page in a small notebook with just one dip.

But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features.

Each Pigment Ink color is also named for a different Japanese onomatopoeia, which are much more central to Japanese culture than they are in the English-speaking world.

With three mechanical steps, Tsunago helps you splice two pencil stubs together. This makes them the length of a full pencil again, so you can get much more use out of each pencil.

First, use Tsunago's Step 1 hole to drill out the core of one pencil stub. The super sharp blade cuts evenly and leaves a smooth hole in the center of the pencil. Then, use the Step 2 hole to sharpen the other pencil to a narrow peg sized to fit in the hole you just drilled. Finally, use the Step 3 hole to remove stray wood from the peg so it'll fit perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included is a round Tsunago handle, which helps you grab the pencil you're drilling.

Optionally, you can use a little dab of wood glue to hold the pieces together more securely. You can continue to sharpen and use the pencil past the seam, until you only have enough left to make another new hybrid with your Tsunago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is Tsunago efficient, in keeping with the Japanese concept of \u003cem\u003emottainai\u003c\/em\u003e, or regret about waste, but it's also very fun to use.

But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features. Kakimori's artisan-made pen holders have all of them—plus, they're made with natural materials for a stunning look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the Kakimori Indigo Pen Holder, made from Japanese cherry by local woodworkers and hand-dyed with Tokushima indigo. Tokushima Prefecture has been the center of Japanese indigo production since the Edo Period (1603–1868). Today, artisans in Tokushima still use the traditional method of fermenting indigo leaves and turning them into deep blue dye, a process that takes up to a year.

The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt.

MADE IN JAPAN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've been looking for something like this for years. Kakimori Frost is an ultra-simple, impressively well-considered pen with a combination of features we haven't seen anywhere else. Created in collaboration with Kakimori by the world-renowned industrial designer Makoto Koizumi, this pen gets all the details right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoizumi took inspiration for this pen from the texture and look of frosted glass. It's molded from translucent acrylic in a streamlined shape and finished with a subtle surface texture. The translucent body offers a tantalizing peek into the inner workings of your pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap is a screw-on, which we prefer because it's less likely to open accidentally—for example, in the pocket of your favorite pants. But unlike other screw caps, Frost can be opened with one hand, in a short and efficient motion. That's because it's quadruple-threaded, with four parallel tracks that unlock at once as you turn the cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the cap, a Kakimori Frost Fountain Pen is outfitted with a German-made steel nib in either 0.5 mm fine or 0.7 mm medium. (For pen geeks, the nib manufacturer is Schmidt.) It's a smooth writer out of the box, and when you purchase it at St. Louis Art Supply, we inspect, align, and adjust the nib for free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the pen body, you'll find a piston-style converter. Please note that Frost does not come with ink. It's meant as a companion and showcase for your fountain pen ink collection, which will look fantastic inside a Frost pen (or three.) Any fountain pen ink will work, but we suggest pairing this pen with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/collections\/kakimori-pigment-ink\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/collections\/kakimori-pigment-ink\"\u003eKakimori Pigment Ink\u003c\/a\u003e for the ultimate aesthetic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, it's worth mentioning Frost's well-designed and comfortable grip section. Some fountain pens don't have enough grip space to hold them without pressing your finger into a hard edge. The designer noticed this problem and moved the hard edge as far as possible from the nib, making this pen a great choice for hands of all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePen body and gift box manufactured in Japan.

But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features. Kakimori's artisan-made pen holders have all of them—plus, they're made with natural materials for a stunning look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Kakimori Mini Maple Pen Holder, made from Japanese maple and sanded to a satisfyingly smooth finish. Five gorgeous finishes are available, all using plant-derived oil to color and protect the wood.

The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt. Unlike the Western style dip pen mount with a large, open hole and metal prongs, the plastic press-to-fit Tachikawa mount is rustproof and harder to gum up with ink.
