Hanafuda Tsukimi-de-ippai Limited Edition Fountain Pen

Hanafuda is a card game that spread throughout Japan in the 18th century.

Each card depicts a scene symbolizing one of the 12 months, based on the seasons or traditional events of the lunar calendar. Players compete to score points by creating specific combinations from the 48 cards.

The artist of Hanafuda, Isana Kobayashi, has hand-painted their signature and serial numbers on each barrel. This product features preparatory Yubi maki-e designs, and craftsmen further apply maki-e individually by hand. It is a fusion of modern and traditional maki-e techniques, creating a maki-e fountain pen unlike any other.

Hanafuda is thus a game that requires both luck and intelligence and remains cherished by people to this day.
