1. Intricate Foil Technique: The pen employs a method called “kannuki,” which translates to “penetration.” In ceramics, kannuki refers to the countless cracks that occur due to differences in the expansion rates of glaze and clay during firing. Hoitsu’s proprietary technique involves creating these foil cracks individually by hand. Each piece is unique, as no two foil cracks are alike. By incorporating these serendipitous patterns into the design, the pen captures the essence of Japanese aesthetics.
   
   

2. Symbolism of Ice Cracks: The crack-like patterns evoke beauty, reminiscent of traditional Japanese motifs. Known as “hiware monyo” (氷割れ文様) or “ice crack patterns,” they represent the way ice breaks on ponds or lakes. Beyond aesthetics, this design carries the wish for spring to arrive in one’s work or studies, allowing talents to bloom.
   
   

3. Gleaming Gold Foil and Feng Shui Significance: The cap features genuine gold foil, adding an elegant and radiant touch. In feng shui, gold is associated with unlocking latent abilities and attracting success. Wearing gold daily can boost confidence as you tackle work or academic challenges.
   
   

4. Comfortable Writing Experience: The pen strikes a balance between substantial weight and effortless writing. Its coating technology ensures the enduring brilliance of the gold foil without peeling, even with daily use.
