Wancher x Kuretake Nodoka Fountain Pen

The newest Wancher x Kuretake collaboration honors the origins of 'writing' through its grounded, minimalist design. 

The smooth, bullet-shaped smooth texture of the pen coupled with its simple color embodies the essence of the stillness and peace found within. With this design philosophy and lightweight body, the new Kuretake Fountain Pen is the perfect companion whether you're traveling and wish to journal, or if you decide to stay home to write down your thoughts instead.

This fountain pen transcends the ordinary, becoming a tool for reflection and creativity. Designed to be effortlessly accessible to anyone—regardless of age or gender—it offers a writing experience that feels intuitive and natural. Ideal for daily use, its finish mimics the elegance of traditional lacquer, making it not only a practical choice but also a thoughtful gift. More than a writing instrument; it’s a companion in your moments of quiet contemplation.

The Making Process

The pen has a surprisingly thin and light body without compromising its durability. With a jointless body, the charm of the body is fully extended. To make the shape of the body, the craftsmen have to utilize a single aluminum sheet to forge it downward until it reaches the shape of a pen. To achieve a light but long-lasting pen, such painstaking technique necessitates both delicacy and strength.

The body and cap are made by squeezing the metal during the molding process, which requires arduous labor. As for the body, the beauty of modern Maki-e is reflected in its own story to tell.

Shape

The bullet-shaped is smooth and moderately sized. Its compact size will fit comfortably in your hand, and is perfect for daily use. The nib size is available in Fine, Medium, and SHARA-Q (Fude shape nib).
