【Tokyo New Open】 You can make your original fountain pen! Ancora Ginza, a long-established stationery maker

With the spread of COVID-19 infection, there are less opportunity to use pens and notebooks since the we use computers more for telework.

　　　 On the other hand, there is an increasing desire to have products at home that feel like miscellaneous goods, and this is probably because people want to add a little color in their simple lives.

In response to those people, Sailor Fountain Pen, a long-established Japanese fountain pen manufacturer, and plus, a stationery manufacturer, have made a collaboration to open a stationery store.

Why don't you find the joy of stationery through a variety of experiences at the store, including a workshop where you can combine pens and ink to as you wish!

■You can combine 200,000 different parts to create your original fountain pen! Customized fountain pen corner

As soon as you enter the store, you will notice the Ancora My Fountain Pen Corner, which is popular among young women for its basic form and pop Scandinavian colors.

You can choose your original fountain pen from among 200,000 possible combinations of nib, cover, body, and other parts, and assemble it in the store.

Then you may also take it home with you.

The color of the body changes regularly, so the number of combinations is constantly growing as well. You can't buy these pens on the Internet, so this is something to look forward to.

Why don't you make your own fountain pen and give it as a reward to yourself or as a souvenir to your loved ones?
