Kaweco Collection Fountain Pen - Toyama Teal

During Springtime, a beautiful spectacle of nature can be observed in certain places around the world. One of these places is in Japan.

On the coast of Toyama district– the namesake for this new and unique Kaweco Collection – the water is illuminated by a mysterious blue sheen during Spring. This rare and spectacular phenomenon is called bioluminescence and it is caused by light-emitting creatures.

In Toyama, the bioluminescence is created by the gathering of a certain species of squid called the firefly squid. Those thousands upon thousands of points of light, performing a captivating spectacle upon the water surface, are mirrored in the high-quality plastic of this fountain pen.

Kaweco have been producing writing instruments from their factory in Germany since 1883.

A timeless classic, the Sport pen was originally designed in 1911 and is available in plastic casing or a metal finish in a wide range of colours. It features a plated stainless steel nib made by Bock of Heidelberg, 75-year makers of precision fountain pen parts.

Measuring just 10.5cm and weighing in at a feathery 20g, it’s pocket friendly too.

Sport can be refilled with standard size ink cartridges. If you’re on a mission to reduce single use plastic (high five!) you can opt for a converter with bottled ink.

Designed and made in Germany.
