The name Shizuku in Japanese is inspired from the picture of a water (or ink) drop on the surface.
Shizuku is a special fountain pen featured with handmade glass nib and converter mechanism. In Japan, the glass pen was developed in the Meiji Period and it was very popular. However, due to the fact that ink couldn't be stored and the inconvenience of carrying ink and the stains, glass pens became less favored than fountain pens and ballpoint pens.
