A dip pen holder celebrating the beauty of wood
Our nib holder in walnut features a rich brown hue and an expressive grain. It’s part of our dip pen collection, designed to be paired with our nibs sold separately.


The Mini holder is a holder with a compact length. Made for casual everyday use, it was designed as a shorter, more accessible alternative to the classic Nib holder range.
An endearing, rounded form
The holder is petite in size, yet easy to hold — not too short, not too long — settling comfortably in the hand. Its rounded form gives the dip pen a charming familiarity and ease.
The light urethane coating on the surface resists stains and highlights the natural texture of wood.

In addition to the holder itself, the nib mount was also purpose-designed, made from highly durable carbon fibre to withstand repeat insertion and removal.

Honouring the character of wood
The maker behind our nib holder, Nakamura, is a workshop specialising in Kumano brushes, a traditional craft of Hiroshima Prefecture. Each nib holder is carefully crafted with techniques long nurtured amidst an abundance of nature.

Mastering wood and its varied nature is a skill reserved for artisans with an intimate understanding of its properties. The unique colour, grain and even the appearance of knots ensure every piece is subtly one of a kind.

Each holder is pure walnut in its natural form. The range of character is a true charm of this wood — we hope your unique holder will grow with you, with every use.

- Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and colour will vary between pieces.
- If marked with ink, wipe clean with a soft, clean cloth.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging the nib mount.
- After rinsing, shake well in a downward motion to remove any water or ink from the nib mount before inserting a nib.
