The stage of Motojiro Kajii’s masterpiece “Lemon” (Taisho 14) is Maruzen Kyoto Branch.

NANGA, which has been producing exciting brand collaborations in rapid succession, has recently released the most crazy products. It is a fountain pen + sleeping bag in collaboration with the classic fountain pen “LAMY Safari”. I actually bought it, so let’s make an impression.

What does a fountain pen + sleeping bag mean?

This product “NANGA LAMY MINI SLEEPING BAG + SAFARI SET” is a set of Lamy’s safari and Nanga’s sleeping bag. The sleeping bag is not an actual size sleeping bag, but a miniature version.

↑ The fountain pen is also awesome

The pen case-sized sleeping bag has the logos of both brands on it, giving it a collaborative feel, which makes me feel awkward. The base seems to be the MINI SLEEPING BAG PHONE CASE that can store smartphones and sunglasses, but the details are quite different. The color lineup is also different, and 6 colors are available in addition to the orange in the photo. A safari of the same color system is attached (excluding some).

God dwells in the details.

Even though there is a base model and a miniature version, the passion and commitment to detail was unusual!

First of all, its feel. It feels so good that you can touch it semi-permanently. It’s like a fidget spinner a long time ago, and just by munimuni, your hands and fingers will be happy. Even if you write a lot and abuse the safari, it will forgive you if it is stored in this.

Next is the structure. A belt on which the pen can be hooked is installed inside so that the pen can be fixed. There is also a carabiner on the back, so you can attach it to your bag and show it as a one-point item for your belongings.

However, the strap at the neck of the sleeping bag does not have a shape that closes the mouth completely, so be careful not to let the stored pen pop out. It is safer to carry it in a bag-in-bag that stores stationery.

The fountain pen is also engraved with the Nanga logo, giving it a special design. The calm matte color is impressive.

I can’t control the feeling of wanting to write outdoors↑ Compatibility with black bags ◎

Fountain pens are basically indoor stationery. In the study or office, “write” while concentrating on the desk. But when the essence of Nanga is added, that restriction is lifted. I want to write the natural breeze and light outdoors while feeling the warmth.

This product will provide an opportunity to come up with new ideas and experiences.

The price is 7700 yen (tax included), Ramie Newman Yokohama store, Ramie Japan official online store, NANGA online shop, Loft net store, Loft Ikebukuro store, Shibuya store, Umeda store, Sapporo store, Kichijoji store, Yokohama store, Sendai store, Available in limited quantities at Chiba, Tenjin, Kyoto, and Ginza stores.

Yuki Yamada, Editor-in-Chief of GetNavi web, is developing “Introduction of Favorite Items” on Instagram. It is up about 2-3 times a week.

It’s a completely digital world, but handwriting is also good. Especially in the new year, you will want to renew your stationery ♪

The appendix of the “Adult Fashionable Notebook May Issue” released on April 7, 2022 is a fountain pen and ballpoint pen set of SOU / SOU.

I’m not too happy that the fountain pen is an appendix !? The real thing arrived at the editorial department, so I checked the writing taste and so on!

[Fountain pen and ballpoint pen with rich weight]

The fountain pen of “Fountain pen & ballpoint pen set that makes you want to write letters and diaries” is a familiar number pattern of SOU / SOU. The ballpoint pen has a modern floral pattern.

Both of them have a very cute overall pattern, but the colors are simple, so it’s just an adult taste. It is a design that you will never get tired of.

Moderate weight fits in your hand. The sound of opening the cap is also comfortable.

[It seems that you can draw letters more carefully than usual]

The writing taste of the ballpoint pen is very smooth. The brush is stress-free and you can write fluent characters.

This sense of luxury goes beyond the dimensions of the appendix …!

For fountain pens, remove the pen tip and click the attached cartridge before using it.

A fountain pen has a line whose thickness changes little by little depending on the strength and speed. If you like stationery, you will definitely get excited.

Somehow my spine is longer than usual, and I think I can draw polite characters! I wonder if I should start with an analog diary for the first time in a long time ♪

[Don’t miss the special issue released on the same day]

The “Adult Fashionable Notebook May Issue” is 1040 yen including tax. When it comes to buying a fountain pen, it’s expensive and difficult to reach. Don’t miss the chance to get it at this price!

The special issue (1040 yen including tax) limited to Treasure Island Channel Seven Net Shopping, which will be released on the same day, comes with a fountain pen and a floral pen case in different colors from the regular issue. This appendix is ​​also like an adult and this is also wonderful.

You can’t choose which one to use … It might be an ant to get both!
