About OHTO:
OHTO is a Japanese pen manufacturing company, first established in 1929 as a manufacturer of dyes and ink. In 1949, the company manufactured the world's first chrome ball ballpoint pen, and has been manufacturing pens ever since. They produced Japan's first ballpoint pen, as well as many other innovative items such as Japan's first water-based ballpoint pen (also known as a rollerball), first needle point, and new ceramic tip pen.
This pen is now my go-to for writing in my planner—the color is beautiful and the ink is smooth. It’s fun to write with which is why it’s a great daily pen.
Love this pen. Bought my first one at the NYC Stationary Festival, fell in love with the silky feel of its design, weight, and smooth delivery, and ordered a second pen within a week. I've never experienced one like it, but I am so glad to have a backup. It feels exceptionally pleasant to hold and write with.
This pen writes just how I wanted it to. I tend to write big in my weeks and I wanted a pen that would help me write smaller. I can write very very small an it can still be read. I love the green color too!
The pen's dark emerald color and Yoseka's wonderful logo are what first caught my eye. Knowing it was from a Japanese pen company established back in 1929 made it even more appealing to me. I was so excited when it arrived but when I held it in my hand, it felt a bit too slim for me and the grip wasn't comfortable. And then when I started writing with it I was disappointed to see how light the ink was.
I did like the shape and design of the knock/click mechanism, but I was really hoping this would be a pen I would want to carry around and write with all the time, especially for the price. Maybe if I can find a gel ink cartridge that fits I might pick it up more often?
I could tell just by looking at it when it came in that the quality was top tier, the color is beautiful and the weight of the pen is nicely balanced, it writes smooth and clips nicely to a notebook or stack of paper. I could tell that a lot of love and care was put into the design of this pen.
