      NOTE ON SHIPPING: 

      With the popularity of this release, we are awaiting a new shipment for the Kachofugetsu Flower pen. Note that orders will be fulfilled in approximately 2 weeks from release date. Thank you for your patience!

      Esterbrook is thrilled to unveil the Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen, a stunning collaboration with renowned Japanese artist, Kaoru, of BUNGUBOX.

      In Japan, there are many beautiful words that have been used since ancient times to describe the beauty of nature. "Kachofugetsu" (Flower - Bird - Wind - Moon) is one of them. Inspired by this concept, the Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen captures the essence of the Someiyoshino cherry tree in full bloom, with its barrel adorned with delicate blossoms.

      Crafted from beautiful semi-translucent crackled pink acrylic, the pen features gold accents and a signature gold plated nib bearing the Japanese character for "flower". The unique design allows you to see through to the printed converter, which is adorned with its own pretty pink blossoms.

      We offer you this beautiful "flower" that will never fade away.

      Celebrating our first collaboration with BUNGUBOX, the Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen is a limited edition piece that embodies the artistry and craftsmanship synonymous with both Esterbrook and BUNGUBOX.


      BUNGUBOX is a boutique fountain pen and ink store founded by Kaoru Yamagishi on February 16, 2012, in Hamamatsu, Japan. Kaoru is a forerunner in the area of designing bespoke fountain pens and inks in Japan, taking high-quality Japanese fountain pens and transforming them into delightful pieces of practical artwork that carry a consistent story throughout their naming, packaging, and design.

      Kaoru's mission is to educate, advocate, and preserve the wonderful human skill of handwriting, constantly coming up with new product stories to appeal to an ever-expanding audience.
