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.

First Leonardo Momento Zero

Its a exquisite pen to use.

Fantastic Pen!

I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.

Excellent service, fast delivery and great customer care. Thank you for the kind handwritten note.

Superbly built and balanced

A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).

Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!

It's the best!!
