Description

This water-based ink pen has been the classic of stationeries in Japan since 1963. Still now about 1,5 million pens are produced in the factory every month.

The phrase “THIS IS A PEN.” has been also a core of Japanese-English phrases for decades. As the first phrase you learn in English course at a school, many of Japanese people share this phrase in mind. This useless yet meaningful nostalgic phrase!
