Recognize it yet? Nope? The big reveal comes after the jump.
Apparently, the pen seen below has quite a story behind it. There’s a
Japanese connection for sure, but the trail of clues goes farther and
deeper. First, it was initially spied in a Milan design exhibition some
time ago. What caught the eye of those in attendance was the small stamp
embedded on its bulbous head.
Th
pen is from Shachihata, a Japanese maker of stamps. Rather than stay
true to the heritage of traditional Japanese stamps the company hired a
prominent designer to give this novelty pen a pop culture twist: the
image it imprints is the Ghost from PacMan.
Apparently, it’s now on sale here.
