Solid brass rollerball pen by Midori. This elegant, compact pen features a black rollerball ink cartridge with a solid brass pen body and cover, which is meant to patina over time but can be polished for a cleaner look. The cap can be posted to the back of the pen when writing. Additionally, the pen features a metal clip and top loop to attach to a chain if desired. A standout feature of this pen is its compatibility with fountain pen ink cartridges, which allows you a wide variety of ink color options.

Since the 1950’s Midori has been asking themselves, “How can we update and hone the comfort of writing?” Part of their answer lay in using broad leafed trees with softer pulp rather than conifers. Another part came through using filtered river water rather than treated water. Yet another was to take away the cover from the notebook, which often makes notebooks harder to open and decreases the comfort of writing. Instead they use a cheesecloth tape, often found on the inside of book bindings. Every stage of production is monitored by the human hand. How does the pulp feel immersed in water? How does the page feel when you run your hands across it? How does the pen feel as it slides over the paper?
