  • Notes

    Please read carefully before placing an order.

    • We accept only pen with removable clip. Please contact us in advance if you are unsure.

    • Please note that “open-ended” or “just do whatever you think” requests cannot be processed.

    • We accept up to two pens per slot.

    • Please understand that lacquer, being a natural material, can appear quite differently depending on the season. Mother-of-pearl (raden) shares this same characteristic. As a result, each finished pen will have its own unique character. This variability is part of the charm of lacquerware. If you are not comfortable with this, we kindly ask that you refrain from placing an order.

    • We kindly ask that requests to reproduce customer-provided images, motifs, or designs from other makers be refrained from. We accept orders only from those who truly appreciate and resonate with Bokumondoh’s original work and artistic expression.

    • Depending on the pen model and the chosen design, we generally do not recommend applying urushi to the grip section, as the added lacquer thickness may cause difficulty when capping.

    • We can purchase certain fountain pen models from Eboya, Sailor, and Pilot on your behalf. Please note that we cannot accept requests for specific shops or sellers. We also do not purchase from auction sites, second-hand shops, or discount retailers. If this arrangement is acceptable, please let us know.
