This product was born from the popular “Book Gacha Paperback Edition” of the HONTO book mail order store, which is a set of fountain pens, ink, and single-stroke notes in a paperback selected by HONTO bookstore staff under the theme of “a book that makes you want to write a letter to someone if you read it,” and was released for a limited time in October 2023. It was very well received at the time of the previous release, so it has been decided to resell it this time.
In this resale, we will deliver it with a book cover and wrapping that is perfect for Christmas season gifts.
HONTO bookstore staff select books on the theme of “letters” from about 60,000 paperbacks, and this product is a set of fountain pens, ink, and one-stroke (or soebumi sticks). The paperback is wrapped in a paper book cover with HONTO’s original design that resembles a “letter”, and the contents are not known until the cover is opened.
