Are you ready to welcome a cute little black cat into your home? 🐈⬛

Black cats have been treasured in Japan as 'Fuku-Neko' (lucky cats), believed to ward off evil and bring prosperity to business. During the Edo period, they even gained a superstition of being effective against lovesickness. Some might associate black cats with superstitions of bad luck, but I don't believe in that!😼

Let's set that aside...

Introducing Black Nyanko(Cat) Glass Dip Pen, much-loved and signature piece: a slim, delicately designed Japanese glass dip pen graced with an adorable seated cat. The pen's shaft is tastefully decorated with cat paw prints, enhancing its charm. Unique spherical charms cap each end, differing in design, perfectly encapsulating the creator's vision of creating distinctive, yet not overly extravagant, designs suitable for daily use. One of my favorite aspects is the ribbon tied around the neck – it's such a delightful detail!

The Nyanko Pen, named affectionately after the cute colloquial term for cats in Japanese, is an extremely popular item that's often hard to get. It's not just stationery lovers in Japan who cherish it, but cat aficionados are also enamored with this delightful creation. 

Explore our Japanese glass dip pens collection, each meticulously handcrafted by highly skilled artisans.

I bought this for my

"I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she loves it."

Daniel R. (5/5)

Beautiful Cat Pen

"The details on this pen are amazing!! I love the little paw prints that you can also feel. The pen is a bit lighter than I would like for a writing instrument, but the design and ease of writing outweigh this."

Anna Z. (5/5)

"Shipping was fast and my order came beautifully wrapped and carefully packaged. The glass pen is stunning and it writes beautifully! I bought several bottles of ink and every one was well pigmented. I know I will be buying another one soon!"

"Absolutely Beautiful..."

Michael J. (5/5)

"Beautifully-crafted pen with cute detailing. Comfortable in the hand - I had wondered if the cat at the top would make it too top-heavy but that’s not the case at all. Holds ink well and puts down a consistent, fine line smoothly. An added bonus and absolutely wonderful touch was the way the pen was packaged inside the shipping parcel, wrapped and tied with great care in a red scarf."

"Love, love, love! This is my first time using a glass pen. It’s amazing. It’s extremely long lasting and you can tell its quality all the way. It’s like a piece of art. It makes writing more of an event in a good way. Can’t wait to purchase another and start a little collection. The wrapping was very thoughtful as well, and i received it quickly."
