A commemorative design inspired by endless passion of fountain pen lovers
Inspiration
Entering our 10th-year, Wancher Team is eager to continue our mission of offering traditional crafts with new creative values. Following the Tokiwa-iro, we are proud to present you: KALEIDO Fountain Pen - the next commemorative design of the Wancher 10th Anniversary collection.
KALEIDO fountain pen is born from the idea of a fountain pen that is affordable, stylish, yet can last for a lifetime. The model is greatly inspired by our tremendous appreciation towards years of encouragement and love from you - who share our love and interests in fountain pens.
The KALEIDO special design
The JAPAN Kaleido fountain pen possesses a different look from the familiar cylinder shape usually found in other Wancher models. The 12 straight edges represent our great inspiration in symbolic Japanese beauty such as the beautiful sun rays, cedar trees, or pillars in traditional infrastructure. With this distinctive 12-sided prism shape and an ultimately smooth finish, it inspires us with the name KALEIDO - which comes from the Greek word "Kal" - beautiful and "eidos"- shape.
To create the JAPAN Kaleido fountain pen, our craftsmen have hand-cutting high-quality hard resin and polish it multiple times. The finished product is a mesmerizing shape composed of straight lines and finely waved edges. As you hold the pen, take a moment to look at it closely and enjoy the glowing shine along the marbled surface of the 12 sides and the exquisite comfort it brings.
Devotion to details

DESIGN WITH HIGH COMPATIBILITY
The key of Kaleido fountain pens lies in the grip design. Compatible with standard Jowo size #6 nib, Keiryu, and Keiryu - Kodachi nib the Kaleido fountain pen promises a pleasant writing experience for long sessions despite its oversized 12-prism barrel.
Colors of JAPAN
Matching with the powerful presence of the 12-prism shape, we present you with 5 color editions to choose from. Each color is carefully selected to express the beauty of Japanese culture and nature.

KALEIDO 14th Anniversary
Four years ago, the Kaleido collection and its twelve-sided prism barrel design was released to celebrate the 10th Year Anniversary of Wancher. For the upcoming 14th Year Anniversaty on October 31, we designed two new members of this colorful collection - the Ultramarine (Souen) and Autumn Groves (Akikodachi).
The different shades of blue in the Ultramarine and the earthy, autumnal colors of Autumn Grove - in a way - showcase the variety you can find with the Kaleido. From the depths of the ocean to the crunch of orange leaves on the ground, you can see the inspiration for these pens in the natural world.
KALEIDO Ultramarine (Souen)
The shade of blue that is hard to describe - vivid yet dark blue embodies an indescribable beauty. The black swirl harmoniusly wraps around it with the shimmering cerulean. The idea was to create a pen that steals attention, as if each time we use it, we discover something new.
As we stare deeply into this fountain pen, we may find new things about it reflected back to us, such as how the iconic medallion glistens under the light, or how its blue seems to transform before our very eyes as you spin it back and forth in the palm of your hand.

KALEIDO Autumn Groves (Akikodachi)
A leaf-like pattern appears on the pen, with its spaces filled with glossy black in between varying shades of brown and a touch of orange. The Kaleido Autumn Grove Fountain Pen represents both autumn wonders and Wancher's 14th Anniversary in southern Japan, where Wancher was founded.
For all of our Kaleido pens, no two models can be completely identical, so you can take solace in knowing that only you can memorize the way your Kaleido Autumn Grove looks - whether it's how the light reflects on its surface as you journal in your favorite coffeeshop, or the way it seems to almost become an extension of an oak tabletop.
