Ok, so looks like the Mono Elite has some limited editions. This floral design is the second design I've seen. The first one comes in a box and was marked -01. Is this -02 and are there more? I have the floral design with a white cap and this one has a pink cap. Oooh, that pink cap, nice touch!
This Japanese company was founded in 1913 and is still manufacturing fine writing instruments nearly 110 years later.
According to their website, “Tombow (tonbo) means “dragonfly” in Japanese and was often referred to as akizu/akitsu in ancient times. Since Japan was called Akitsu shima (dragonfly island in English) in the past, the name of the company also represents our desire to represent Japan's stationery industry.”
