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 Glass Kaoria's 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.
