Yumi Kitagishi is an illustrator gaining attention in Japan and beyond, and this pen was created in the image of her character White Cat.
The little figure on the pen, looking as if it came straight out of an illustration, is so adorably made that you can't help but gaze at it.



Kitagishi actually made this delicate figure herself with clay. This shape was taken as is for this model of the cat resting on the pen.



Yumi Kitagishi’s name and logo, as well as the word “Hobonichi” are printed on the barrel of the pen, and the contrast between red and blue is also beautifully harmonious. Enjoy using this pen as a companion for your techo.









We have also prepared other items using Kitagishi’s work, such as stickers, a Sticky Note Roll, an embroidered bookmark, a Mini Folder, a Mini Letter Set and a Small Everlasting “Paper” Bag, which you can use to match your ballpoint pen.









Drawer Pouches featuring Kitagishi’s illustrations are also available in four sizes.
