‘Takumi,’ meaning ‘craftsman’ in Japanese, is a stationery line meant to elevate the spirit of the artisan. A special collaboration between Japanese papermaker Awagami Factory and Taiwanese stationer IWI, the Takumi Gold Label notebook features a gold-stamped, shimmering cover made from handmade washi paper, and smooth, fountain pen friendly pages.
Awagami Factory’s Fujimori family has been making washi papers in Tokushima, Japan for 8 generations. IWI (International Writing Instrument Corp.) has been specializing in metal pens and pen parts since 1985.
