Kuretake Karappo Ink Brush Pen Set

The Kuretake Karappo Pen (literally meaning "empty pen") is an innovative set that gives you complete freedom to create your own unique ink colors and fill brush pens with them. It's the perfect instrument for artists, calligraphers, and hobbyists who use their own inks or want to mix colors.

This particular set includes empty leads and barrels with a fine brush tip (Hosofude), perfect for detail, calligraphy, and precise drawing.

• Create Your Own Colors: The main advantage is the ability to refill empty cartridges with any water-based ink, such as fountain pen inks, diluted inks, or even mixed colors of Kuretake inks (e.g. Gansai Tambi or "Ink-Café" series inks).

• Thin Brush Tip (Hosofude): The set is equipped with thin brush tips that allow you to:

  • Precise Drawing: Perfect for outlines, details and fine lines.

  • Calligraphy: Allows you to write both fluid and thin Japanese characters and elegant, controlled Western-style lines.

• Ease of Use: Refilling the pen is simple. Simply dip the included refill into your favorite ink (or your own blend of colors) and then insert it into the pen body. The refill absorbs ink like a sponge.

• Once the tailcap is attached and the pen is assembled and ready to use, the tailcap cannot be removed (ink cannot be refilled)

• Quantity: 5 pieces
