The wood is not too hard and has a moderate flexibility, making it suitable for processing, and its luster deepens with use. The wood grain ranges from pale yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, with a soft expression of the annual rings, and exudes a simple and warm presence, just like the fruit. ⸻ Gummy Wood's Symbolic Meaning The symbolic meaning of the wood is "purity of heart, sincerity, and fruitful happiness." Because it blooms with small white flowers in spring and bears red fruit in summer, it is considered a symbol of efforts bearing fruit. It is said to calm the heart of the holder and give them positive energy. ⸻ From Tomo Pen Koubou Fumi Pen & Tomo Pen Koubou handcrafts thick-bodied wooden pens that make the most of natural wood, one by one.
