Limited Edition Japanese Pens, Shipped Worldwide, From PenSachi (Sponsor)

Sachi (幸) means Happiness in Japanese, and the name says it all. All of us at PenSachi love to make you happy by delivering to you the best writing instruments and the most satisfactory writing experience ever.

My name is Ken Katsumoto, and I am the owner of PenSachi.com. At PenSachi, we are a team of both Japanese and foreigners who simply love fountain pens very much and would like to have a career where we can see fountain pens everyday.

Back then, we really started everything from zero! As we are based in Japan, it is very hard for us to reach to customers abroad due to language barrier and time zone difference. Some of our employees still take night English classes in order to deliver better customer service to our customers. We want to introduce the beauty and quality of Japanese writing instruments to the rest of the world.

Currently, we carry products from Sailor, Pilot, Namiki, and Platinum. We also feature products by pen style, such as Demonstrator and Sparkling, as well as a wide variety of standard and specialty nib selections.

We have a special corner for Japan exclusive limited fountain pens. About our products, we are striving to introduce more and more Japanese writing instruments to the world. So we are considering other brands such as Nakaya, Wancher, Kuretake, Hakase, etc. And not only fountain pens, we are preparing to introduce Japanese notebooks to our customers in the near future.

Above all of this, we hope our customers enjoy a HAPPY shopping with PenSachi and have a HAPPY experience with our products. Only that makes us a complete PenSachi.

ITALIA Fountain Pen by ēnsso (Sponsor)

ITALIA is the new fountain pen by ēnsso available to pre-order on Kickstarter at a 40% discount off the future retail price.

The design of this pen was inspired by the golden age of Italian pens. Its minimalistic design with peaked ends and clip is only adorned with a milled Greek Key or 3 stripes on the cap and grip section.

It has a very comfortable and well-balanced size of 139 mm when opened or closed (nib included). It is 150 mm in length when posted. ITALIA comes equipped with a #6 German-made Bock nib and a Schmidt ink converter. It accepts short and long standard international ink cartridges.

Although its design draws inspiration from vintage pens, this is a modern-looking pen expertly milled from solid titanium, brass, or aluminum.

You can back the ITALIA on Kickstarter starting at $49 for aluminum models, $59 for Brass, and $79 for Titanium.
