Ooo, that's nice green! I was tempted to pull the trigger on a black 51 the other day, but I think I'll hold out for a nice color like that.
Hmmm...that is an interesting business philosophy. I'm not sure where I first heard about Muji, but I remember thinking it was an interesting looking aluminum pen. It's not the smoothest writing pen I have, but I do use it most every workday. Yes, the Red Beans and Rice ink came from Papier Plume, a great pen store in the French Quarter.From Japan by way of Louisiana?
I hadn’t heard of Muji, so I looked them up. Strange business philosophy:
”[W]e do not make objects to entice responses of strong affinity,
like, ‘This is what I really want‘ or, ‘I must have this.‘
MUJI's goal is to give customers a rational satisfaction, expressed not with,
‘This is what I really want’ but with ‘This will do.‘
‘This is what I really want‘ expresses both faint egoism and discord,
while ‘This will do‘ expresses conciliatory reasoning.
In fact, it may even incorporate resignation and a little dissatisfaction.“

Good choice. Way underrated pen. I bought a few for my kids, but sneak them from time to time. The colorful ones definitely have a youthful vibe, if I can put it that way. I love the smiley faces on the nibs. But the black ones look quite serious and I think would pass muster in any office environment.Pilot Kakuno, with Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue ink
