This is a small Maruzen Athena lever fill fountain pen in a translucent red plastic c. early 1950s.  Maruzen is a large book and stationary store based in Tokyo that began 1869 and became Maruzen in 1893, according to Fountain Pens of Japan by Andreas Lambrou and Masamichi Sunami. Maruzen imported fountain pens and in 1907 became the Japanese distributor for De LaRue Onoto pens.  Maruzen launched its own Athena brand in 1915, a design similar to a Waterman 52, and Athena became the flagship house pen brand of the company.   The pens were made by Sakasai which Maruzen acquired in 1937.  This 4 5/8 inch pen features a conical stainless steel nib with a ribbed section that is copied from the Sheaffer Triumph pens of the 1940s.  The nib is stamped MARUZEN’S over ATHENA over MADE IN JAPAN over JATO.  The cap pulls off.  The clip is stamped ATHENA.  The trim appears to be chrome plated.  The cap top and barrel end jewels are black.  The barrel is stamped “Athena” over MARUZEN over MADE IN JAPAN.  The paper band shows a price of 350 yen, which is $3.31 in today’s dollars.

This is probably my flashiest pen and came with a handwritten letter by the company chairman. First impressions: It’s opulent, and to a level that is simply laughable. Wrapped in what I presume to be wrapping tissue, it came in a leatherette box, which contained a massive chunk of wood called an imperial blue presentation box, wrapped in velvet. Now that is a presentation which makes you hold your breath, and the pen inside is no less jaw dropping. The material comes with a depth and chatoyance that just has you marveling at the inticracy of it all.

It writes beautifully to, supremely comfortable, threads out of the way, so there’s more to this than just superficial looks. The 18K fine nib is rather well tuned, a good balance of smoothness with just the barest hint of feedback, good flow but not overbearing and well balanced to give you some shading yet enough to distraxt you. After you’ve stopped marveling at it’s stunning looks, it really gets out of the way and you learn its personality is even more charming, so to speak. I would say I’m probably more in love with this pen than most of the girls I’ve liked so far but I am friends with some of them and I don’t want to insult them. #fountainpens #onoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6iSL8s0qv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tercera Parte. En rituales mágicos, se utiliza para eliminar conflictos de amor y fortalecimiento de lazos de la siguiente manera. Se pone a calentar aceite de coco, se añade una cucharadita de semillas de achiote y se deja que suelte el color. Se apaga el fuego se deja reposar y con esta mezcla se unge una vela de color blanco o rosado. En un papel en blanco se escribe el deseo de amor utilizando la mezcla, se bendice el momento y se enciende la vela. Mientras está encendida, la persona que realiza el ritual se coloca frente a ella, visualizando su deseo cumplido, con el papel frente a ella. Al consumirse la vela, se aguarda el papel en un lugar secreto y no frecuentado. Cuando se cumpla el deseo de amor, rompe el papel, da las gracias y lo entierra. @addais01 #addais01 #onoto #achiote #plantadelasemana #ritualmagico https://www.instagram.com/p/B37IqAChNCZ/?igshid=497wio6b3qni
