A beautiful, handmade pen that would take your breath away as you hold it. These fountain pens and ballpoint pens are produced by Mr. Keizo Onishi at Onishi Seisakusho, who has been handling writing implements in one corner of Higashiosaka, where conventional, small-scale factories stand next to each other. Mr. Onishi has been involved in the production of writing implements for more than half a decade since he was 15 years old.
The strong point of the handmade pen by Onishi Seisakusho, which is made of an environmentally friendly material called acetate, is the one and only one patterns unique to each individual pen and the special feeling that users would feel when the pens perfectly fit into their hands.
By using the pens, which are made solely by Mr. Onishi, who starts from the process of cutting the material into the size of the pen and consequently completing tens of processes until the last process of grinding, users could feel something that could be described as the soul of craftsman. It truly is a pen that should be used, not only for a lifetime, but for generations.
The craftsman, Keizo Onishi
After retiring a stationery company at age limit, Mr. Onishi became the pupil of Mr. Kiyoshi Kato at the age of 65, who was from Kato Seishakusho Company and who was known as the most prominent fountain pen craftsman.
Mr. Kato has, regrettably, passed away in 2010, and in the following year of 2011, Mr. Onishi's workshop, Onishi Seisakusho, was established. When established, machines and tools used at Kato Seisakusho Company were all inherited. Mr. Onishi's is truly skillful, so much that his teacher, Mr. Kato, has told him during his lifetime that he has nothing more to teach him.
The pens produced by Mr. Onishi inherit Mr. Kato's philosophy, which aims "to produce practical fountain pens that are intended to be thoroughly used. To provide things that are cheap and good, without adding any unnecessary decoration."
Thank you so much for your wonderful products and service.
I love everything I have purchased and it arrived so fast! I appreciate all the craftsmanship and care and tradition that has gone into everything, and it makes me want to buy more. The Oak Village table is my pride and joy and I sit at it to do my journaling. The [Onishi Seisakusho] Fountain Pen Sakura I use every day to draw and write on my Oak Village desk. I visited Japan in October 2022 and have always wanted to take some of it home. The textiles are beautiful, I have been using them to do natural dyeing with weld, cochineal, and madder, and I'm going to use them as covers for bookbinding. The photos you take of your products on your website are gorgeous too. The 'cloud' towels are so soft too and a pleasure to use. I use the rice chests to store my wools as moths can be an issue here in Melbourne. Thank you, I have been pleased with every product.
