The Tsubota Pearl Hard Edge Lighter carries the quiet precision that has defined the Tokyo workshop since 1952. Each piece is crafted in small specialist studios around Asakusa, where brass, steel and cotton are shaped with an attention to detail that feels almost ceremonial. It is a petrol lighter with a pleasingly architectural silhouette, built for those who appreciate everyday objects made with intent.
What sets this lighter apart is the calm weight of it in the hand, the ease of its flint wheel and the way its clean lines give a modern edge to an old world ritual. It is refillable, reliable and designed to be kept close, whether you light incense, a candle or the evening fire. A simple lift of the cap and strike of the wheel brings the flame to life. Once you have finished, close the lid to snuff the wick.
To refill, remove the inner chamber, turn it upside down and saturate the cotton wadding slowly until it reaches around eighty per cent capacity. The white fibres will gently darken as they absorb the fluid. With occasional care, this lighter will serve you for years.
