The father of pens
Discover the brand of the legendary Mr. Kato Kiyoshi, affectionately known in the trade as “the father of pens”.
Mr. Kato started making pens at the age of 19, after his father, who was also a pen maker, died shortly before the Second World War.
It is said that Mr. Kato kept a large quantity of celluloid buried in his garden, and at the end of the war he dug it up and started his own pen company, eponymously named the Kato Seisakusho Company.
