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.
