Original caption

People were scared of fountain pens, not just the price, but because they seemed complicated to get into. So Pilot made the Kakuno, a fountain pen that teaches you one step at a time. The smiley face on the nib shows the correct writing angle. See the smile and you're holding it right. The triangular grip guides your fingers into the right position. The hexagonal body doesn't roll and feels familiar, like a wooden pencil. The cap is easy to grip and has ventilation holes for safety. And despite an affordable stainless steel nib, it writes with the same quality Pilot is known for. What Pilot expected to be a children's pen became one of the world's most popular entry points into fountain pens for writers of all ages.

This fountain pen was designed for children but ended up being loved by adults. This pen was created because surveys showed that people were so afraid of fountain pens. Not just because of the price, but because they seemed complicated and difficult to get into. At a time when ballpoint pens were dominating everyday writing, Pilot saw this as an opportunity to bring in a new generation of Fountain pen users. And that became the Pilot Kakuno fountain pen. So, the Kakuno kindly teaches you how to use a fountain pen. The first detail is the smiley face. If you can see the smiley face, you're angling the nib correctly. Second, the triangular grip gives you a natural grip to the pen and kindly suggests you the correct way to hold a fountain pen. And third, the hexagonal-shaped body feels familiar because of the hexagonal shape shared with wooden pencils and doesn't roll off your table. Fourth, the cap is designed to be easier to grip and have ventilation holes for safety. And finally, the nib. Despite using an affordable, stainless steel nib, it writes super smoothly and honestly feels as smooth as fountain pens that are double, triple, quadruple its price. So what initially was designed to be for children to get into fountain pens, ended up becoming the best, beginner-friendly for all-ages.
