This is a thick-bodied ballpoint pen crafted by Fumi Pen & Tomo Pen Kobo, using the jet-black, lustrous precious wood "Kurotan" (ebony). It is approximately 14cm long and about 17mm in diameter. The refill uses the Mitsubishi SN80 New Liner, providing a smooth writing experience. The pen's appealing features include a comfortable weight in the hand and a deep luster that increases with polishing. Combining a sense of weightiness and elegance, this pen is a fitting gift. ⸻ 【Characteristics of Kurotan (Ebony)】 Kurotan is a high-grade wood that grows in tropical regions of Asia and Africa, known for being extremely hard and dense. The subtle stripes that appear within the deep black-brown color are beautiful, and when polished, it shines like glass. It has been used since ancient times for high-end furniture, Buddhist altars, and musical instruments, and is considered a noble material, even called the "King of Wood." ⸻ 【Wood Symbolism】 The wood symbolism of Kurotan is "eternity, dignity, and nobility." Its profound black color symbolizes quiet strength and spiritual calmness. It deepens in character the more it is used, making it a writing instrument like a "life partner" that stays with you for a long time. ⸻ Because natural wood is used, there are individual differences in the grain and color. Please enjoy the unique beauty created by nature in your hand.
