Muji is a large consumer goods
concern, very like a Japanese version of Ikea. I cannot say that
I've ever been inside a Muji store, but I have some friends who seem to
get to Japan at uncommonly frequent intervals-- this derives from one
of their trips. The packaging has nothing like a model name on
it; the kanji which romanizes as "arumi marijiku mannenhitsu" simply
means "aluminum round-bodied fountain pen," which is a pretty complete
description but hardly a name. There's not a mark on the body to
even identify it as coming from Muji, or anywhere else. While
less interesting in shape, it's similar to the Lamy 2000 in its utilitarian nature.
One may find onlookers asking how it's possible to write with an
Xacto knife.
Happily, it is equally utilitarian in its writing aspect-- a hard
point, but smooth and willing. Like some other low-end Japanese pens I've encountered, this
one is set up to allow the cartridge to be swapped without removing the
cap-- the joint is at the back of the knurled area, and the cap fetches
up against the front of it. This is both clean (less likely to
touch the point in the process) and sensible (reduces risk of
misplacing the cap, however briefly).
