Japan is a country which is well-known for its writing culture. Shodō is a Japanese word which is often translated as ‘the way of artistic handwriting’ or beautiful writing and describes the very moment in which a thought flows through the hand and becomes visible on paper.

Leuchtturm1917 gel pen refill was developed in Japan, in order to reproduce in everyday life and as accurately as possible the fineness of ink strokes that were traditionally created with a brush. It makes the multiple award-winning Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen from LEUCHTTURM1917 a premium instrument for writing and drawing.

Inspired by the original 1920 design. The Drehgriffel Nr.1 makes a striking statement, with its hexagonal silhouette. The narrowly tapered tip, like the twist mechanism, comes in a colour that contrasts with the body.
