A Ballpoint Pen Made by Someone Who Loves Mountains and Trees. Very Rare Yoshino Cedar Burl.

Yoshino cedar is famous as one of the premium branded woods. Carefully nurtured Yoshino cedar is particularly known for its fragrance and beautiful grain. Although it's a branded wood, Yoshino cedar itself is not "very rare." What's difficult to obtain is the "Yoshino cedar burl" part. The cobcob Yoshino cedar ballpoint pen is made from this Yoshino cedar burl. (A burl is a swelling that forms when the Yoshino cedar protects a part that has been injured for some reason.)

Only Possible Because They're in the Forestry Industry.

The maker of cobcob Yoshino cedar ballpoint pens is Mr. Morimoto from Yumemi Hana. He creates them in a workshop surrounded by trees deep in the mountains of Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. While being the manufacturer of cobcob, he also runs a forestry business. That's why Yumemi Hana can obtain materials that aren't available on the market. It's natural that Yoshino cedar burls aren't found around you since they don't circulate in the market. Although they can obtain them, the quantity is limited, so they are indeed rare.

Charm Discovered by Someone Who Loves Mountains and Trees.

One characteristic of Yoshino cedar burl is its "strong fragrance and longevity." This feature comes from the burl containing a lot of Yoshino cedar oil. According to Mr. Morimoto, burls don't decay for long periods even when left in the mountains because of their high oil content. This characteristic is preserved intact in cobcob. Even when made into a ballpoint pen, the high oil content means the fragrance doesn't disappear for a long time; it continues to smell pleasant in your hand. A feature that no one had paid attention to before, a charm that only Mr. Morimoto could discover. If you store it in the test tube package, it will continue to smell for several years or more.

Wood Grain Unlike Typical Yoshino Cedar

Another characteristic of Yoshino cedar burl is its unique "grain." Cedar grain usually doesn't become this irregular. The grain unique to burls is irregularly natural. Each one has a completely different appearance, which makes them interesting. This distinctive grain is a charm exclusive to cobcob that can't be found elsewhere. The surface is uncoated, so the Yoshino cedar will age over time. Please enjoy both the long-lasting fragrance and the changing texture as the oil seeps out.
