Proceed to Personalize

A name applied over 1000 cranes changes what the symbol is for. The Maki-e Gold Ballpoint Pen 1000 Cranes by Hakuichi carries cranes hand-painted using maki-e, a lacquer technique built up in layers over gold foil rather than painted directly onto a flat surface. The thousand crane motif carries its own weight in Japanese tradition, associated with longevity and good fortune, a symbol given rather than simply displayed. This personalized version adds a name engraved into the pen body, set to sit within the existing maki-e composition rather than disrupt it. Hakuichi works in Kanazawa, the source of nearly all gold leaf produced in Japan, applying that material by hand beneath the lacquer that defines this pen's surface. Personalization is available for orders of minimum 10 units.

Care & Use

Retract the Tip When Not in Use: Always retract your ballpoint pen tip when it’s not in use to prevent the ink from drying out.
Store Vertically with Tip Up: Store your pen vertically with the tip facing up to prevent ink from pooling and clogging the tip.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your pen away from extreme temperatures. Excessive heat can cause the ink to leak, and extreme cold can cause the ink to thicken.
Clean the Tip Regularly: Use a soft cloth to clean the tip of your ballpoint pen to remove any dried ink or debris that may affect writing performance.
Refill Promptly: Replace the refill as soon as it starts to run dry to ensure a smooth writing experience and to avoid damaging the pen’s mechanism.
Use on Appropriate Surfaces: Write on smooth, clean paper surfaces to prevent damage to the pen tip and to ensure the best ink flow.
