It grows slowly in a humid environment, resulting in a very dense grain, a rich fragrance, and excellent durability. Since ancient times, it has been considered a symbol of sacredness and immortality, and has been widely used in temple and shrine architecture, as well as in art and crafts. The subtle fragrance that spreads when you hold it is also known as the "healing fragrant wood," and it soothes and calms the mind. ⸻ Wood Language of Yakusugi Cedar The wood language is "longevity, vitality, and eternity." Yakusugi cedar, which has survived for an eternity, is said to give the holder a quiet strength and protective energy. It is the perfect pen for those who want to calm their minds in their daily lives and work. ⸻ From Tomo Pen Studio At Fumi Pen & Tomo Pen Studio, we carefully craft each pen, making the most of the individuality of natural wood.
