There are some pen types where Japan just excels. Super-fine tips, for tiny, intricate writing or drawing; brush pens made for easier control; fountain pens with superb specialist nibs. Even outside these, though, Japanese pens are generally just very, very good. They make some of the best ballpoints and gel pens anywhere, and their culture of continual improvement means innovation is happening all the time.
We have all the biggest Japanese pen brands, including Pilot, Pentel, Uni-ball, and Zebra. We have fountain pen specialists like Sailor and Platinum (and both of these may make more variety of products than you realised!). And we even have brands far less known outside Japan, like Stalogy and Lihit Lab.
