The origins of Wagashi are thought date back to the Jomon era, more than a few thousand years ago, and is considered like a kind of dumpling made of crushed and rolled nuts.

Each fountain pen presents a seasonal Japanese sweet with a special combination of colors to follow the writer during its trip within the Japanese culture and traditions.
