Yakushima Island is renowned for its ancient and majestic Yakusugi trees. These trees are a species of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) that have thrived on the island for thousands of years, making them some of the oldest living trees in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Yakusugi tree has to be at least 1,000 years old to be considered a real Yakusugi. The wood that we are using is from real Yakusugi trees, older than a thousand years old. It is important to note that the trees have not been cut to use their wood. Only the wood of trees that have fallen due to harsh weather conditions is used to make our pencils. In this way, we can contribute to keeping the balance in the Yakushima ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYakusugi trees hold great cultural importance in Japan. They are considered sacred by the local communities in Yakushima Island, and are often associated with spiritual beliefs and practices. The ancient forests where these trees grow are protected as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ensuring their preservation for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYakusugi trees stand as living testaments to the passage of time, and the resilience of nature. Their towering presence, ancient wisdom, and cultural significance make them truly remarkable treasures that deserve our admiration and protection.\u003c!-- notionvc: f6bfd6d0-ac61-4d2c-8338-85adcae2afb7 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:  cm \/\/  inches\u003cbr\u003eØ about: cm \/\/  inches\u003cbr\u003eRefill: Uni JETSTREAM F\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Yakusugi wood from Yakushima Island, Japan \u003cbr\u003eNote: Due to the material being natural wood, the grain pattern will be unique among in pen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInner mechanism made in Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Wanderlust, Hand Made in Japan by Red Line\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wanderlust by T.S.L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68090121093355,"sku":"RLBP-YakusugiKobu","price":30800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/wanderlustatelier.net\/products\/yakusugi-wood-ball-point-pen-kobu","provider":"Wanderlust Atelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
