Made mostly from Alder and Hinoki (Japanese Cypress) woods, Toyooka’s pen boxes are carefully handcrafted to avoid any waste of wood and to bring out the individual characteristics of each tree that they are using. They are exacting in their craft, adjusting adapt to even the smallest changes in weather and humidity. The result is a lineup of cypress blue and warm caramel-colored boxes that are a piece of art, just like the pens that they house.

A few questions about the pen roll:
Do you plan to produce more of these in sold-out colors like blue or red?
Also the center pocket seems slightly narrow for a field notes notebook, and I see even in the demonstration video you have to force it in a bit. Any chance you would make that center pocket wider, and then adjust the pockets to either side so that the entire roll can optionally fold into thirds and still lay flat?
