This is a rare, handcrafted mechanical pencil made from the peach tree (momonoki), a tree that heralds the arrival of spring. Approximately 14cm in length and 14mm in diameter, the thick barrel design fits comfortably in the hand, providing a gentle writing experience. It uses standard 0.5mm lead and features smooth, stable writing. The soft, warm wood grain unique to fruit trees gains luster with use, allowing you to enjoy the changes over time. The finish, which preserves the natural wood grain, ensures that each piece is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. ⸻ Characteristics of the Peach Tree The peach tree has long been known as a "sacred tree that wards off evil," and has been used as a talisman for homes and to ward off misfortune. The wood has a pale reddish hue, giving it a soft and gentle impression like spring flowers. It has moderate hardness and flexibility, and is also characterized by a faint sweet fragrance when shaved. ⸻ Peach Tree's Symbolic Meaning The symbolic meaning of the peach tree is "longevity, happiness, and the fruition of love." Like the flowers that announce spring, it brightens the hearts of those who hold it, and brings warm energy as a symbol of love, peace, and rebirth. ⸻ From Tomo Pen Studio At Fumi Pen & Tomo Pen Studio, we create each pen with care, making the most of the individuality of natural wood.
