The Pilot Chanomegumi (茶の恵, meaning \"the blessing of tea\") is a quantity-limited collaboration between Pilot Corporation and Ito En, Japan's largest producer of green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel is wrapped in Limited Edition Colours Bands which relate to traditional tea ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen is the Pilot MR Metropolitan cocoon, a Japanese-market design built on a brass body with a satisfying heft that most fountain pens in this price bracket simply do not offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 138mm capped and 24g, it sits comfortably in the hand without posting, though the cap posts securely when preferred. The screw cap closes with a clean, deliberate thread rather than a snap, which protects the nib during travel and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nib is Pilot's own special alloy, available here in your choice of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. Pilot's Japanese Fine is worth noting for anyone used to Western sizing: it writes closer to what many European manufacturers call Extra Fine, producing a crisp, controlled line well suited to detailed work, journaling, or writing on coated or lightweight papers. The Medium lays down a slightly broader, more expressive line with good ink flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth nibs are smooth from the box, which is consistent with Pilot's manufacturing standard across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen accepts Pilot's proprietary ink cartridges and is compatible with the Pilot CON-40 converter (sold separately), which opens the pen up to the full range of bottled inks. One black ink cartridge is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003elimited release\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, produced in restricted quantities for the Japanese domestic market.
