The anticipation among artisans and stationery enthusiasts has reached a fever pitch with the announcement of the highly coveted Limited Edition Professional Gear Slim Fountain Pen 'Sun' by Ancora. Set to debut on August 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM JST, this elegant writing instrument will be available at their Ginza flagship store and online.
Crafted in collaboration with Sailor Pen Co., this limited edition pen is inspired by the celestial magnificence of the sun, a fitting addition to the popular 'Celestial Series'. The cap and body of the pen are adorned with both large and small glitter particles as well as iridescent pearls, reflecting the luminous nature of sunlight.
The Professional Gear Slim Fountain Pen features a meticulously designed 14K gold nib that offers a smooth writing experience, while its design pays homage to the majestic sun through decorative motifs. Notably, the cap features a black dot resembling sunspots finished with rainbow foil that bursts with color, reminiscent of the vibrancy of sunlight.
With five different nib sizes available—EF (Extra Fine), F (Fine), MF (Medium Fine), M (Medium), and B (Broad)—users can choose their preferred writing thickness to tailor their writing experience.
For those wishing to get ahead of the game, advance telephone reservations for the pen will open at 11:00 AM on August 22, 2025. Only customers able to pick up the pen at the Ginza store can make a reservation by calling the store at 03-6274-6522. Please note that reservations are limited to one pen per customer, and quantities are restricted, so early action is advised. Notably, there will be no online reservations for this item.
In addition to this stunning new release, Ancora is also expanding its 'My Fountain Pen' corner at the Ginza flagship store. Beginning on the same launch date, customers will be able to select components to customize their own fountain pens in five new standard colors, including a clear color option.
