Ystudio Classic Renaissance YAKIHAKU Portable Ballpoint Pen

The portable edition of the ystudio YAKIHAKU collaboration, this ballpoint pen carries the same extraordinary Unryūhaku flat foil technique as its fountain pen sibling — hand-applied by Kohei Murata of Rakugei, a third-generation craftsman keeping a near-lost Japanese art form alive.

Each pen is unique. Dark, moody tones are interrupted by glittering veins of aged silver foil, creating a surface that shifts with the light and belongs to no one else. The solid brass body beneath provides comfortable weight and balance for everyday writing. It comes fitted with a 0.7mm ystudio gel ink refill and also accepts standard Parker-type ballpoint refills. Presented in a deep wooden gift box with card sleeve and booklet.

What Makes It Work So Well

Unryūhaku flat foil, applied by hand: Each pen carries a one-of-a-kind pattern using a centuries-old technique — a genuine piece of art in your hand.

Solid brass body with perfect balance: The 34g brass core feels grounded and comfortable, making the pen as satisfying to write with as it is to look at.

Dual refill compatibility: Ships with a 0.7mm gel ink refill and also accepts standard Parker-type ballpoint refills for flexibility.
