The Kumano Leather Pen Holster draws its name from the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage – ancient trails leading to Japan’s Shinto shrines. This heritage-inspired pen holster is a nod to purposeful journeys, much like those who carry their favorite writing instruments.

Crafted from full-grain leather, the holster’s design reflects both elegance and functionality, embodying the craftsmanship Japan is renowned for. Over time, the leather will develop a rich patina that tells its own story, making it not just a tool for pen protection, but a lasting companion.

The Pen Holster feels like a natural companion to the Traveler’s Notebooks – designed for those who value tools that last and improve with age. The robust steel clip ensures it stays secure, whether attached to a notebook, belt, or bag, making it ideal for writers, travelers, and those who cherish durability and craftsmanship in their everyday essentials.
