The fourth limited edition fountain pen in Sailors Dobutsu to Gekkou is the Horse in Moonlight. A magnificent mother of pearl moon will guide the Golden Horse over the hills to eternity. 

On the Yukari Cherry Blossom at Night fountain pen, Namiki illustrates: Hana-akari. The cherry blossoms ‘fall at night,’. When it takes place at night, an extraordinary phenomenon happens. The falling petals, swirling like snowflakes in the dark sky, sparkle like little stars and seem to radiate luminosity that illuminates the darkness. This magical nocturnal event delights, fascinates, and soothes its spectators! 

We are preparing for a Sakura Pen Meet. Joining fountain pen addicts, ink aficionados, and paper lovers is not a task; it is something we love to do. Every time, it feels like a family is coming together, and our garden is the perfect place for such an event.

The evergreen Ivy is often written about in poems because of its glossy, beautiful autumn leaves, and was often used as decoration, covering the exterior walls of buildings. The so-called Komon is one of the traditional Japanese kimono patterns in which the same pattern is dyed repeatedly in the same direction. The Pelikan maki-e M1000 “Ivy and Komon” has brilliant orange ivy covering the fountain pen, and in combination with the Komon patterns, it depicts a beautiful autumn. 123 pieces for the world.
