Each of the six pens in the set features a unique Aoyama Kazuyo illustration on the barrel, creating a cohesive collection that tells a visual story across the set. The illustrations are printed with exceptional quality and detail, capturing the delicate linework and gentle warmth that characterises Aoyama Kazuyo's style.
