The Tachikawa T40 straight pen is a lightweight Japanese pen made out of wood and a comfortable rubber grip.
This pen's plastic insert can accommodate a variety of different nib sizes -- including several crowquill nibs! Note that this holder does *not* accommodate the Brause Rose nib.
One of my favorite things about this pen? It comes with a cap, making it both travel-friendly and convenient.
This pen is *super* comfortable to write with. I love using it for both calligraphy and drawings!

The Tachikawa T40 straight pen is one of my very favorite writing utensils. It’s comfortable, pretty, and convenient! Here are some features that make it fabulous:

  • The pen has a comfortable rubber grip that ensures hours of comfortable calligraphy or illustration work.
  • The T40 includes a fitted plastic cap that will protect the nib (I love the cap for traveling).
  • The pen’s plastic insert will fit most nibs. There’s one nib I’ve found that doesn’t fit in the pen, and that’s the Brause Rose.
  • This pen is beautiful! The color combination of the light wood, robin’s egg blue grip, and gold embossing is so lovely.

  1. Giselle Rosier –

    I started with this pen and really liked all the features everyone appreciates about it. Unfortunately in the last few months, my nibs started falling out – right into my ink pot. 😯 I am currently only using it with a crowquill nib. Is there anything that I can do about this issue? I have several pens but really like this for home and especially when traveling.

      Hi Giselle! That’s super weird and definitely not supposed to happen. Shoot me an email and I’ll be glad to send you a replacement. 🙂 [email protected]

    I love this pen! It’s so lovely and easy on the hand.

    A great straight pen! I’m a lefty, so I tend to use straight pens. This one stopped user fatigue in its tracks!!!

  4. Bailey Crerar –

    I love how this pen feels in my hand. Wider than others, it makes me feel like I have more control in my writing.

  5. Kitty –

    I love this straight pen. It was the first pen holder I ever used! It is very comfortable to hold and I really like it that the nib is protected by the top!

  6. Giselle Rosier –

    This pen is perfect! It is comfortable to use, has a little bit of cushioned grip area and is great when you carry your supplies because the cap protects your nib!!

  7. Susan –

    I’m just a beginner, and I was looking for a pen – I, too, really appreciate the protective top for the nib. As promised, this pen fits nicely in my hand, is easy on the grip, and doesn’t tire out my hand in using it. I like it very much.

  8. Kit –

    This is an excellent pen. It is truly super comfortable, especially for more upright script. I now have a couple oblique pens as well, but will continue to use this one for sure!

  9. Francis –

    I love this pen for all my drawing. The group is nice and soft, it also fits two sizes of nibs. I love that it has a top.
