"The details extend to the cap with birds in flight. The pen grip is a very soft, cushioning and allows your finger to find your position and simply adjust. The nib is smaller than most, similar to the Sailor 1911. Smooth writing and the pen enjoys Tomoe River paper. A grail pen? Certainly beautiful enough to be!"
"This is a wonderful writing and drawing pen. An elegant addition to my collection."
"A excellent fountain pen, writes so beautiful and made and looks superb…"
"Quality craftsmanship with the heart of an artisan. Smooth writing pen every time. Wonderful customer service. Please place them on your "go to" list."
"A well made fountain pen."
"Every pen I've purchased have been beautifully wrapped. Unboxing these pens feel like Christmas day! The quality of these pens is beyond words can describe. I will continue to purchase their products."
"Overall this met my expectations for the outside design, and I love the grip area that is very comfortable to hold. I do wish this came with a converter - a pen of this price should come with a converter."
"We purchased this pen as a gift for our son, who is an avid fountain pen collector. We bought ink with the same motif, and gold crane pen holders too. Huge success. He loves it! The pen now has a prominent place in his display case when not in use and/or resting on the crane. Even the ink and its beautiful box are displayed on a bookshelf. It was such a pleasure to give such a beautiful (and beautifully wrapped) gift. Thank you, Komorebi! We will be back for more."
"Beautiful design. Very quick shipping and delivery."
"I’ve been looking at these pens for several months and finally decided to purchase. I couldn’t be happier. In addition to the beautiful design work on the pen, the nib itself is very smooth. I also really like the soft grip section that makes writing easier with my arthritic hands. I wouldn’t to buy another. Also, shipping was very fast!"
