Keiryu: A Nib Inspired by the Flowing Beauty of a Mountain Stream

The characters and drawings that emerge from this pen's nib mirror the gentle flow of a mountain stream.

This unique nib effortlessly captures the emotions and thoughts of the writer. It stands as a testament to the expertise of modern master craftsmen who, over decades, have dedicated themselves to perfecting their art. Wancher's longstanding dream of crafting such a distinctive nib has finally become a reality.

Inked Elegance

From the moment the nib touches the paper, a line effortlessly glides, reminiscent of a water strider gracefully skimming the water's surface. At this moment, the hand merely supports the fountain pen, moving horizontally.
The nib's point features a distinctive mountainous shape. Japanese craftsmen meticulously adjust each one, carefully refining it to resemble an arrowhead with a fine file. This is a skill achievable only through manual craftsmanship, as it navigates the microscopic world, much like writing letters on a grain of rice.

The KEIRYU nib, with its generous ink flow, produces slender and elegant lines or bold and powerful strokes depending on the nib's angle. To seamlessly connect each line into a cohesive character, a bit of practice may be needed.
Take some time to explore with the KEIRYU nib. As you become more adept, the enjoyment increases, and once you can wield it freely, you'll be amazed at the lively and vibrant characters you can create.
