Into the sky
MAEDA TYOUKOUSYO (Hyogo)
“Into the Sky” is a pen stand set designed to resemble the vertical stabilizer of an aircraft and clouds floating in the sky, made from domestically sourced wood. The ballpoint pen is also crafted from domestic wood. While we primarily create carvings for shrines and temples, this product emerged as we explored ways to apply our craftsmanship in modern society. Our workshop is located beneath a flight path leading to Kansai International Airport, where we observe not only domestic flights but also international aircraft arriving from around the world. Various types of wood are used for the stabilizer and the ballpoint pen, while the clouds are hand-carved with visible chisel marks and coated with gofun paint to express their whiteness. This product is ideal as a souvenir or a gift and is also perfect for aviation enthusiasts and professionals in the aviation industry. It can be placed on a reception counter or desk as a decorative piece. We hope it gives off a sense of both elegance and charm. What do you feel when you hear the words “Into the Sky”? Some may think of embarking on a new journey, recalling joyful travel memories, or reflecting on their work travels. For some, it may bring back bittersweet or regretful emotions. Air travel is often filled with various memories. Through this product, we continue to explore new ways to offer hospitality.
