[A1 brand new -- comes with original box, papers, etc.]

Pilot VP Decimo (18k F nib) as the base model .. per Poesie Bungu, the base model has been customized by a traditional Japanese studio via paint & resin used for Japanese Kimono

- The entire pen has small shimmer particles + large iridescent (pink & blue) glitter flakes dispersed throughout 🤩✨✨

- I purchased this on a bit of a whim, as they were quickly selling out @ Poesie Bungu .. I have been admiring but not using it, so am letting it go here for less than what I paid total (55,000 JPY + ~20% tariffs + international shipping)

Letting go for $365 + $8(U.S. shipping)

- NOTE: I have an [A2 inked twice, cleaned/dried thoroughly] 18k FM nib which I could swap in .. but this would be $43 extra since FM nib units are not available outside of a Japanese LE VP/Decimo pen purchase

HASE glass pen with original box, papers, and glass pen-rest by same artist

- MODEL/COLORWAY= "Light" model, which is only made for pen shows & special events/collaborations; very cute & easy to wield at many angles .. "Light" glass pens never repeat colorways 👀 this one is from Space Walk Takamatsu (Fall 2024) .. with darker lighting/background, the pen shift into indescribably gorgeous shades of chromatic teal

- While HASE rarely specifies nib sizes, I'd say this is about an FM/M relative to other HASE pens in my collection .. exhibits typical HASE perfection & smooth brush-like swatch-ability

- MODEL/COLORWAY= "Stripe" model in "Sakura" glass .. very pretty glowy pastel pink 🥰 true to its namesake 🌸

- NIB= Medium that exhibits typical HASE perfection -- I'd say, relative to other HASE pens in my collection, this one is has quite a wet (but still consistent) flow .. easily produces gorgeous brush-like swatches 🌊

[A2] Iroka Studio glass pen .. includes original box & papers .. purchased at 2025 Tokyo Pen Show

- COLORWAY= "Sakura," which is truly a painting captured within glass .. sakura petals of varying shades of deep to pastel pink + a few accents via luminous glowy petals which catch the light within the beautiful whirl .. there is a phosphorescent lavender layer, hidden glitter flakes, and a small amount of green peeking through all the flowers .. the overall effect is impossible to photograph / can only be appreciated in person!

- NIB= juicy Broad nib (quite rare for Iroka, in my experience!) with impeccable nib-on-paper feel & just a hint of Iroka's signature feedback (just enough for the pen to avoid "slipping" on the page) .. puts down an invariably juicy yet controlled line

- NOTE: Iroka Studio glass pens can only be purchased at in-person shows -- these pens cannot be found at stores, and when they do sell online, it is thru lottery & a HUGE amount of people apply

[A2] Carrocro glass pen; includes original box & papers

- MODEL/COLORWAY= "Sakura Moon (桜月)" in standard model for Carrocro .. the phases of the moon are, simply put, absolutely gorgeous 🌝🌚

- NIB= 0.6mm nib width, aka B .. legitimately can't-believe-it's-not-BUTTER on any paper 😍 Carrocro is a perfectionist when it comes to nib construction -- soooo smooth + ink flow is controlled perfectly!

Glass Studio AUN, glass pen; includes original box (AUN pens do not come with any papers)

- MODEL/COLORWAY= Classic model in Rain, which appears gray with a sky-blue phosphorescence in very bright light .. there are cute lil droplets inside the body + "streaks" of rain (reminiscent of raindrops on a window) are carved into the tail of the pen

- NIB= I purchased this as a Coarse nib, but its thicc-ness goes beyond the typical AUN Coarse nib, which is defined as "0.85~1.0mm" on their chart .. this nib is is more like 1.1~1.3mm, depending on how wet/dry your ink is

- NOTE: this nib produces thicc-er, wetter lines when you write slowly -- and conversely, slightly drier & thinner lines when writing quickly .. I tried to show this in the writing sample

Letting go for $275 + $7.50(U.S. shipping) .. NOTE: this price a bit under what I paid for the pen originally 👀 I will withdraw it if there aren't any takers in a couple of weeks

[A2 for nib & body BUT "cookies" have suffered some aesthetic damage during international shipping :( .. closer pic of cookies]

Paraglass glass pen, ft. original box, papers, and glass pen-rest by the same artist .. this design debuted in Bungu Joshi 2026 + only to be repeated in VERY small-numbered quantities at in-person events via lottery

- "Cookies & Biscuits" design ft. frosted melty sugar grip-section (VERY tactile-y pleasant to hold :)) .. NOTE: the aesthetic damage occurred during international shipping :( I have since carried this pen around in my bag for a week+ before deciding to list on pen_swap, just to ensure further jostling would not lead to further cracks -- it appears that the damage will NOT spread further :)

- While Paraglass does not specify nib sizes, this one seems right between a Medium ~ Broad on the AUN scale .. typically Paraglass nibs veer EF/F, so it's an extra treat 🍪 to have such a juicy nib with fabulous flow & juiciness 🍓

Letting go for $88.50 + $7.50(U.S. shipping) .. NOTE: I've priced this item MUCH lower than what I paid, to account for the aesthetic flaw
