Pilot G2 Pen @ 168 yen
After reading lots of impassioned accounts of the slick writing and general goodness of the Pilot G2 gel ink pen, I was passing by the stationary shop at work and decided on impulse to pop in and see if they had any. I bought one for ¥168, looking forward to seeing how much those American fools would pay for the honour of owning the same thing. As it turned out, it’s not that much more than fools in Japan pay for owning it. Jet Pens has them for roughly the same price as here in Japan.
I didn’t check the width when I bought it, and got one that’s a bit too fat (0.7). I still don’t really see what all the fuss is about with this pen, it’s the same as Moleskines, just a fad that’s in at the moment. I still like the Zebra Tapli better, or the cheapy Prismee by Zebra which I nicked from a real estate agent.
