Alluring
"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!"
Beautiful workmanship!

My Beautiful Great Wave 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."
Beautiful pen, nice grip
"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."
Great gift
"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."
