It’s great for writing, drawing, illustrations, ink swatching, and more! You can switch colors quickly by rinsing the nib with water and drying it off on a paper towel or cloth. The brush tip stores safely inside the barrel, and side holes make cleaning easy. If the tip loses its shape, dip it in hot water (60–80°C) for 1–2 minutes to restore it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: Nylon Brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.7 × 134.4mm (when in use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that while the inside of the pen body is hollow, it is not meant to hold ink like a water brush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Hocoro Dip Pens:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSailor Hocoro Dip Pens were initially released in December 2021 and are Sailor's version of the increasingly popular dip pens adored by fountain pen and ink enthusiasts! Sailor's take on dip pens features several very unique features that have made the Hocoro Dip Pen a favorite. As with most dip pens, Sailor Hocoro Dip Pens make it very easy for you to write with fountain pen inks without having to worry about cleaning them out or committing to one ink color for a longer period of time. Since the pen only comes with a nib and no feed, the only thing you have to do to switch between ink colors is dip in some water and wipe off with a cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Sailor Hocoro differs from most other dip pens is in its customizability and portability. The Hocoro's nib comes housed in a resin section that can be completely pulled out and removed from the pen, allowing you to swap nib units out for another nib size so you can alternate from writing with a Fine nib to a Calligraphy nib or even a Fude nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many other dip pens are meant to stay put on your desk, the Hocoro is portable. Its lightweight and short barrel make it easy to slip into a pen case for swatching, writing or even drawing with ink on the go. And in place of a cap, which would add unnecessary length and bulk to the dip pen, simply pull the nib out of the barrel and invert it into the hollowed out barrel to \"cap\" the pen for travel.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-hocoro-dip-pen-nib\"\u003eSailor Hocoro Dip Pen Nibs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eavailable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-hocoro-dip-pen-feed\"\u003eSailor Hocoro Dip Pen Feed\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eavailable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/sailor-hocoro-dip-pens\"\u003eMore Sailor Hocoro Dip Pen\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Sailor:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, \"Candy,\" that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their \"Candy\" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51394753528021,"sku":"D8\/27-0135-202","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/DSC_6313_de28bf27-39e7-4484-8be9-38e75782e38f.jpg?v=1745334852","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-hocoro-dip-pen-brush","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
