History of BUNGUBOX Original Fountain Pen

We would like to introduce a number of original fountain pens that Bungubox has released to date.

幸せの黄色い万年筆　【April, 2010】JPY22,000.

The very first original fountain pen from BUNGUBOX, "The Happy Yellow Fountain Pen", was limited-edition sets.

This pen was created by owner Kaoru with a heartfelt wish to give a gift to her late mother. Based on the Sailor Pro Gear Slim model, the cap ring is engraved with the English phrase, "I wish you a lot of happiness."

The set includes three items: the Happy Yellow Fountain Pen, a mini original storybook, "The Story of Bungufox" and an original bottled ink, "Happiness"

Only 30 sets were available.

 Dandyism × FDM　【October, 2010】JPY35,200.

Following the release of the "Dandyism" bottled ink in May of the same year, BUNGUBOX launched the "Dandyism x FDM" fountain pen.

This pen was a deep green, inspired by the color of the ink. It's based on the Sailor Professional Gear model, with a special feature: the "FDM" nib. This stands for "Fude De Mannen" ("Fountain Pen as a Brush") and is a unique 21k gold nib from Sailor, designed to create a variety of line widths depending on the writing angle, similar to a brush.

These were a limited edition of only 30 pens.

 

WOMAN　【October, 2010】JPY33,000.

While releasing the Dandyism x FDM, BUNGUBOX also announced the "WOMAN" fountain pen. This pen features a unique magenta body, inspired by the original bottled ink, "La'mant".

The pen was created with the heartfelt wish for women to shine even brighter. In a gesture of support, a portion of the proceeds from its sales was donated to a Pink Ribbon organization.

These limited-edition pens were based on the Sailor Pro Gear Slim with pink-gold trim and were restricted to just 30 pieces.

 

First Love　【June 2012】JPY121,000.

This pen was conceived to hold BUNGUBOX's most popular and beautiful blue ink, "Hatsukoi" (First Love).

The stunning blue stripes on the pen's body were created by Takuya Hino, a Maki-e artist from Wajima. He painstakingly inlaid each wavy stripe of blue lacquer onto the uneven barrel, applying multiple coats and polishing it to a flawless finish. The result is a truly exquisite piece of art.

The cap ring is engraved with the French phrase "Premier amour," which also means "First Love."

Based on the Sailor Pro Gear Gathered model, these pens were a limited edition of only 20 pieces.

 

もうひとつの初恋　【June 2012】JPY19,800.

This fountain pen was created with a beautiful, sparkling finish to match the color of the original ink, "The Clown's Tears."

Kurogaki (Black Persimmon)　【April 2013】JPY132,000.
