BUNGUBOX x Esterbrook Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen, Fine Nib
The first release in Esterbrook and BUNGUBOX’s Kachofugetsu series, this limited edition pen draws on the Japanese expression for “Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon” and takes its inspiration from Japan's infamous cherry blossoms. Finished in semi-translucent pink acrylic with gold-plated trim, a specially engraved nib, and a blossom-printed converter, it brings together Esterbrook’s classic writing instrument design with BUNGUBOX’s distinctive Japanese point of view. Esterbrook is thrilled to unveil the Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen, a stunning collaboration with renowned Japanese artist, Kaoru, of BUNGUBOX. In Japan, there are many beautiful words that have been used since ancient times to describe the beauty of nature. "Kachofugetsu" (Flower - Bird - Wind - Moon) is one of them. Inspired by this concept, the Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen captures the essence of the Someiyoshino cherry tree in full bloom, with its barrel adorned with delicate blossoms. Crafted from beautiful semi-translucent crackled pink acrylic, the pen features gold accents and a signature gold plated nib bearing the Japanese character for "flower". The unique design allows you to see through to the printed converter, which is adorned with its own pretty pink blossoms. We offer you this beautiful "flower" that will never fade away. From its crackled translucent body to its blossom-printed converter, the Flower pen brings thoughtful design into every part of the writing experience. Even the nib carries the Kachofugetsu character, adding a final detail that ties the piece back to the spirit of the collection. Please note: The Kachofugetsu Flower Estie does not come with the cushion-cap closer, so may feel slightly different than your other Esties. It still has the proper seal to keep your nib wet, but the spring-action may not be felt on this pen. Please note that it is fully functional to Esterbrook's high quality standards.
