The Morison was founded in 1918 by Torajirou Tanigawa under the name Kikaku Pen Company. The company initially produced pens in black chased hard rubber with a good success in Asian countries. In 1933, the company changed its name to Morison (not to be confused with the American Morrison, as sometimes happens) for purely commercial reasons, since at that time American and British pens had a greater consideration in the Japanese market.
During the war the company's facilities were converted to the war effort in the production of ammunition, becoming a greedy military target. The plants were completely destroyed by American bombing, but after the war the company was rebuilt with the same name.
Benché la Morison non sia mai stato uno dei grandi produttori giapponesi, e non si sia distinta per particolari innovazioni stilistiche o tecniche, le sue penne sono sempre state di alta qualità, e l'azienda è tutt'ora presente sul mercato, anche se solo per la produzione di penne a sfera e materiale da ufficio.
