I’ve been using this Nambu Tekki bull paperweight for a few weeks now, and it’s become a conversation starter on my desk. The cast iron feels substantial and well-made, with a nice weight that actually keeps my papers in place. While it’s a bit pricey at $55, the craftsmanship from Sumitani Saburo Shoten is evident. I keep thinking of Helen Mirren’s precision in every role when I look at this piece – it’s that refined.
