Leonardo - Urushi Essenza Nipon Sette 2025 Pen Venture Exclusive

For seven years, Pen Venture has celebrated the passion of writing and writing instruments, this limited edition fountain pen marks that milestone. One year in the works - Leonardo - Urushi Essenza Nipon Sette, only 13 pieces are available, each one a unique testament to the skill, vision, and dedication of Leonardo Officina Italiana and PenTeo, our urushi artist who brought the vision to life.

Crafted using the roiro urushi technique, the pen’s body is lacquered in aka kushi, a rich, red lacquer known as “lipstick red.” With every layer, the urushi transforms, deepening in color, revealing its beauty and capturing light in an ever-changing glow. From the hands of PenTeo, the fountain pen emerges as more than a writing instrument, it is a glowing statement of beauty and intention, where tradition, patience, and artistry converge.

The bold red is elegantly balanced with black accents on the limited edition hand painted Roman numbers, threads, and feeder, creating a striking contrast that highlights the meticulous attention to detail. Fitted with a Leonardo La Fenice #8 14k gold nib, each fountain pen delivers a luxurious, smooth, and responsive writing experience that mirrors the refinement of its exterior.

PenTeo is the artist behind Pen Venture’s past exclusive editions: Essenza: Aka Tamenuri (2022), CinqueVerde (2023), Great Void (2024), and Ignis (2025), each writing instrument a story of lacquer, light, and life, culminating in this seventh-anniversary piece, in a timespan of 12 months where we created the perfect red.

Owning this fountain pen is owning a fragment of history, a celebration of seven years of growth, vision, and the timeless passion for the fountain pen world. It is not merely a tool, but a collector’s treasure, meant to be admired, cherished, and experienced.

Excellent

Very interesting pen, well balanced and with a clip that helps to carry in the jacket pocket. Excellent article

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING

If you want heavy-duty protection for your pens without the maintenance or bulk of leather, this case delivers everything you need in a sleek, robust, incredible functional design. Highly recommended!
