Gel rollerball Sarasa Gel Clip 0.5mm | Vintage Color Series 2 | Set of 5

The Zebra Sarasa Vintage Clip gel ink rollerball pen is the pinnacle of modern gel pen architecture. A thoughtfully designed body with a comfortable rubber grip, a robust retractable 0.5mm tip and an oversized nib clip that attaches as easily to thick notebooks and book covers as it does to a shirt pocket. The smooth and incredibly vibrant ink is available in five iconic vintage colours that are sure to delight. The high-quality Japanese ink is pigmented and features excellent water, lightfastness and nib resistance.

The zebra is a very gentle animal that lives in the highlands of Africa and has no weapons with which to fight its natural enemies. Instead, it protects itself by relying on its highly developed sense of herding.

Tokumatsu Ishikawa, the founder of Zebra, chose the zebra as the symbol of his company in 1914 to express his desire that all members of the company should have a similar sense of togetherness and solidarity in marking pens that are essential for the development and improvement of culture.

The Japanese word "zebra" can also be written with Chinese characters composed of elements symbolising "writing" and "royalty", which Ishikawa felt was very appropriate for a company dedicated to the pen industry.

The zebra is backward in their trademark. This is to indicate that the knowledge accumulated in the past is being used to make progress in new areas.

The power of harmony with man and the spirit of applying the lessons of history are the two pillars that fundamentally support Zebra Pens.
