Oh, how adorable! Our Nyanko Pen series comes in four colors, but for those who say, "I just love pink!" this pen is the perfect choice for you. Especially, the translucent pink glass enhances its charm and beauty, making it irresistibly adorable. 

Introducing Glass Kaoria's much-loved and signature piece: a slim, delicately designed glass 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.

Are you a first-timer with glass dip pens? Welcome to an elegant tradition!

A glass dip pen, invented in 1902 by Sadajiro Sasaki, a Japanese wind chime artisan, is a distinct type of dip pen crafted entirely from glass. Its nib is designed with multiple grooves that enable ink retention through capillary action, facilitating smooth writing when dipped in ink. Like traditional dip pens, a glass dip pen requires dipping into ink for writing or drawing, marrying functionality with artistic elegance. The competitive craftsmanship in Japan has led to the creation of glass dip pens with exceptionally delicate designs and notably smooth writing tips, setting them apart in the global pen market.

In an age where digital means have reduced our time spent writing, those who cherish the written word support glass dip pens for their blend of artistic beauty and functionality, securing their popularity.

1. Easy Ink Exchange and Maintenance

Unlike fountain pens, which require thorough cleaning for ink changes, glass pens only need a quick rinse in water and a wipe with a tissue. This makes them convenient for those who want to experiment with different ink colors. After all, part of the fun of writing is choosing your ink, and dip pens are perfect for this.

2. Use Shimmer Inks and Older Inks Without Clogs

Glass pens, lacking the complex mechanisms of fountain pens, can use older inks or inks with particles like glitter without clogging. We love journaling too and always want to use a variety of colors and sparkles to make our pages beautiful. If you relate to this, a glass dip pen could be a great choice for you.

3. Artistically Sophisticated

Japanese glass pens are known for their intricate designs and artistic value. Some have glass candies embedded in the shaft, others contain opals, and there are pens whose colors change depending on the background. Each glass artist brings unique characteristics to their creations. If you enjoy writing, consider investing in a tool that enhances that experience. Writing with your favorite glass pen can make your writing time feel even more special.
