BB111 Hinoki Black Pen tray with separate lid * Toyooka Craft

Description:

Toyooka Craft makes beautiful wooden attributes. From pen rests to foldable tables, watch boxes and office accessories. Everything is manufactured according to the Kumi-ki technique, in which unique connections and polishing techniques keep the wooden parts together. Metal is not involved.

Japanese cypress, plywood, acrylic, and a beautiful rayon inner lining are the ingredients for the Toyooka Craft Hinoki pen boxes. These boxes are finished in a black color. Each box is compact and lightweight. The pen slots measure 25 mm by 200 mm with a  central gutter of 12mm.

We did the test: Namiki Emperor, Pilot Custom Urushi, and Danitrio Mikado fit perfectly in all of the boxes. In width, they take up all the space so that laying two large pens next to each other feels cramped but you can place slim pens in between. Stacking trays with large fountain pens is possible, provided you turn the clip a quarter to the inside.
