Description
The Eboya Ricchiku Large Kaze Blue Green is one of the most noted and recognizable models produced by Tokyo-based Eboya. At six inches long, this is a large fountain pen that is pleasure to hold – the ridges, designed to emulate the undulating shape of bamboo, provide comfortable gripping points along the barrel.
Each pen is hand-turned by a skilled artisan using a rokuro, a special lathe commonly used in the manufacture of traditional Japanese craft objects. Eboya fountain pens are part of a craft tradition stretching back through hundreds of years.
Fountain pen manufacturer Eboya is the artisanal sister company of Nikko Ebonite, long the supplier of natural hard rubber ebonite to the major Japanese fountain pen companies. The ebonite used in Eboya fountain pens is traditionally sourced from the Asian rubber gum tree.
Ebonite is one of the classic materials used for high end fountain pens. Many vintage pens crafted from hard rubber ebonite are still in daily use a hundred years and more after their initial production. Eboya’s unique approach to the design and crafting of ebonite gives these pens their distinctive and beautiful appearance.
The high quality of Eboya fountain pens isn’t limited to the ebonite bodies. Eboya has chosen German-manufacturer Bock, supplier of nibs to most of the leading European fountain pen manufacturers, to produce the 14k solid gold nibs for Eboya fountain pens.
Choose broader nibs for the best results with customizations such as Architects Point, Cursive Italic, or Stub. Finer nibs, meanwhile, will generally be the preference if you’d like a modification for added Flex.
The Ricchiku is a cartridge-converter pen. It can use international standard cartridges in either the large or small size, as well as international standard converters.
