SIMEICHU XIAOZHUO – Era Series – Black Persimmon
The Era Series | Nature’s Ink Painting | Zen Wood
The Story: Nature’s Ink Painting
Crafted from Black Persimmon (Hei Shi Mu), also known as the “Wood of Zen.”
As part of our Era Series (Pure Wood), this pen pays tribute to the natural beauty of timber. Black Persimmon is famous for its dramatic, high-contrast black and white grain patterns that resemble a traditional Ink-Wash Landscape Painting.
Unlike the uniform darkness of Ebony, Black Persimmon possesses a distinct personality: quiet, elegant, and profoundly artistic.
⚠️ Natural Grain Variation Note: Each pen is unique. Unlike mass-produced items, Black Persimmon is wild and unpredictable. Some pens feature bold, heavy black ink lines; others have delicate, misty gray veining. The pen you receive will be randomly selected. We invite you to embrace this variation as part of the joy of owning natural wood.
Why This Pen is Special
- Nature’s Brush: The natural black patterns flow like spilled ink on paper.
- Velvet Touch: The wood is dense and fine-grained, offering a smooth, polished feel that warms instantly to your hand.
- A “Pocket Sword”: Designed as a compact carry (10cm), it transforms into a perfectly balanced, full-length instrument (12.3cm) when the cap is posted on the back.
