{"product_id":"pilot-kakuno-madoromi-grey","title":"Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen — Madoromi Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eMadoromi means \"drowsy\" in Japanese, and this special Kakuno series is exactly that — soft, dreamy colors inspired by naps and daydreams. The grey is a gentle, misty shade with a slightly translucent milky body, topped with a gold-toned nib — a quiet upgrade from the standard silver that makes the whole pen feel a little more special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the dreamy colors, it's still the Kakuno we hand to everyone: one of the easiest, most approachable fountain pens you can pick up, whether it's your first or your fifteenth. Lightweight, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, it features a hexagonal grip that naturally guides finger placement and a cheerful nib \"smile\" that helps orient the pen correctly as you write. It's simple in the best way: reliable ink flow, smooth writing, and no learning curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth gold-toned stainless steel nib, exclusive to the Madoromi series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly translucent pastel body in a soft grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHexagonal shape prevents rolling and improves control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefillable with Pilot ink cartridges or converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Fine and Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey is for people whose favorite weather is fog — quiet, calm, and a little mysterious.
