Yosegi Wooden Ballpoint Pen ・ GO-ONE × METAL FARM ・ Japan

01 A yosegi ballpoint pen, where natural woods of different color and grain are joined into pattern
02 Every pen is one of a kind — no two share the same woods or design
03 Comes in its own wooden case with a magnetic closure, made to carry

A yosegi wooden pen that deepens with use

This ballpoint pen is made in yosegi, a Japanese woodworking style in which different woods are joined together to form pattern. Japanese woods such as keyaki (zelkova) and hinoki (cypress) sit alongside others from around the world, each bringing its own color, grain, and texture. Through fine, precise woodworking, the varied species come together as if they were a single designed pattern.

Each pen is carefully made by hand, and every one is one of a kind, different in both its woods and its design.

All five yosegi designs are one of a kind

The pen comes with its own wooden case that closes with a magnet, so it travels easily. Rather than a pen cup or a pencil case, this is a pen you will want to keep in its box and carry with care.

The wood grows deeper in tone the more it is used, so its character continues to change over time.

Made by METAL FARM, a guitar workshop on Lake Biwa

The pen is made by METAL FARM, a guitar workshop on the shore of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. Its members are an unusual group — a former shrine carpenter, a dental technician, a scale-model builder, and a building materials designer — yet their handwork is first-rate. They have brought the precise skills of each of their former trades to instrument making, where guitars and basses demand exceptional woodworking.

This pen was born from a collaboration between METAL FARM and Go-One, a brand that partners with craftspeople of many kinds to create distinctive pieces. An everyday writing tool, it brings together serious technical skill and a sense of play.
