Translations:Maruzen/8/en

Fountain pen production seemed to stop in the early 1960s, probably due to the introduction of ballpoint pens, but in recent years Maruzen has come out with customized and/or limited edition fountain pens (with its own brand name added), produced from time to time by well-known companies such as Pilot, Sailor and Platinum, and also with European houses such as Pelikan. It continued the sale of Athena Ink brand inks, some of which were made, for example, by Sailor. Today Maruzen is a large book and stationery material chain, spread throughout Japan with about fifty outlets.
