Vintage Color Ballpoint Pens ♡

From the "Sarasa Grand" ballpoint pen series, limited edition vintage color inks will be released ♡

Not pure black. Not pure red.

Vintage color inks have a stylish texture that resembles writing with a fountain pen ♡

The three colors that will be sold exclusively starting November 30 are "Green Gray," "Vermilion Orange," and "Royal Violet" ♡

Japan's Best-Selling Ballpoint Pen Brand＊

In fact, Sarasa (SARASA) has been the number one brand in gel ballpoint pen sales for eight consecutive years.

“Oh, I remember I used to love this when I was a student…!” I thought to myself.

Apparently, a total of 500 million units have been sold so far.

This ballpoint pen.

Looks familiar, right???

Sarasa Grand is the higher version of the classic Sarasa. Priced at 1200 yen each, it's made of metal instead of plastic, and the vintage color ink is popular among adult women, resembling a fountain pen ♡

It seems that such colors have been sold in the past as well.

When it Comes to Color Ballpoint Pens＊

I thought it would be great if this vintage color ballpoint pen could be placed as a pen at the reception.

[Why?]

When I write with a black ballpoint pen on white paper, I feel like my handwriting looks bad....

The strong contrast of pure white and pure black makes the ballpoint pen's writing stand out, highlighting the messiness of my handwriting, which I really dislike. I recalled that ever since high school, I have only used dark blue (and slightly thicker to hide imperfections).

There's also talk abroad that "black ballpoint pens aren't used much; it's mostly blue."

Speaking of blue/navy ink, this one comes to mind for me.

I have the image that overseas recipe cards are written with navy ink ballpoint pens on this type of paper.

By the way, research results also suggest that blue or navy ink enhances memorization better than black, making it recommended for studying.

(This is called blue pen scribble study method.)

I Prefer Ballpoint Pens Other Than Black.

This might be my personal weakness due to my messy handwriting, but... doesn’t writing with black ink make you a bit tense?

On the other hand, using calm vintage colors makes it blend in and look stylish.

I personally think that if the pens at the reception could be something like “a little brown,” “a little gray,” or “a little navy,” it would elevate the comfort level a bit as part of hospitality...

What do you all think??
