Introducing the "Wagashi Japanese Sweets" fountain pen series! This collection is inspired by the rich tradition of Wagashi, the traditional Japanese sweets, and encapsulates the essence of Japan's cultural and culinary heritage.

The Kohakuto pen resembles the jewel-like shine of semi-dried Agar Jelly. It comes with a 14k solid gold nib, a light lavender cap and body, blue finals, and gold trim.

The set is completed with a specially crafted gift box, a matching 20ml bottle of Sailor Shikiori Souten ink, and a converter.

Beautiful and writes well

Beautiful pen. The sparkles are very faint, if you were wondering. The gold accents make it stand out like a piece of jewelry, and the resin makes the pen very light. If you are used to pens that are slightly larger (thicker) in the hand, you may think this Slim version feels a little small. Sometimes the ink tends to transfer to the grip when it rubs on the inside of the cap

Nib size: I got the Fine, since I prefer very fine pens. Although it never has a problem with writing perfectly, I can definitely notice and hear the scratchy feedback, but it's not unpleasant for someone who prefers fine pens. I have good results with writing on regular (low quality) paper. Less feathering and bleed-through than a pen with a wider nib
I also got a Sailor pen with a medium-fine nib to compare, which I think I prefer. It is still very very fine but writes wetter and a little more smoothly

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this fountain pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Sailor ink cartridges, which are available in a wide range of colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
