Pen + Message is a small stationery shop tucked away on a back street near Motomachi Station in Kobe, Japan. They sell a lovely small selection of inks, as well as a decent amount of different paper products and high end fountain pens. Theyβve also been offering Sailor exclusive inks for a while now and have their own set of five inks (of which this is a part of) as well a collaborative set of three inks with Rivermail in Yamashina called βWriting Labβ. All of these come in the lovely tall or vase sailor bottle.
