Kuretake Mannen Mouhitsu Fountain Brush Pen

The Mannen Mouhitsu is Kuretake’s long-running refillable fountain brush pen, recently redesigned with a slim metallic barrel and a clear cap. It has a true bristle tip of individual polyester fibres, so it behaves like a real brush — capable of the stops, flicks and sweeps of Japanese brush writing — while carrying its ink in a replaceable cartridge.

Water-based pigment ink — black cartridge included

Hairline to broad stroke, pressure-controlled

Polyester bristle brush tip (replaceable)

Refillable — Kuretake pigment cartridge (DAN106-99H); replacement tip DAM14-999

Metallic barrel, clear cap · 9g · Keep capped when not in use

We know the heartbreak of a fountain pen hitting the floor. As a member of our Creative Rewards, you don't have to worry about the 'tines.' If the worst happens, just send us a photo and we'll send you a 50% discount for a fresh start.

"The Nib Safety Net" – Terms & Conditions

Eligibility: This benefit is exclusive to active members of the Creative Rewards program at the time of the accident.
Coverage: The 50% discount applies strictly to accidental damage (e.g., dropping the pen) that renders the nib unusable. It does not cover intentional damage, loss of the pen, theft, or normal wear and tear.
The Claim: To activate your discount, you must provide a clear photo of the damaged nib and your original order number to oops@yourstore.com.
Limitations: This discount is valid for a one-time replacement per pen purchased and applies only to the cost of the replacement nib unit. It cannot be combined with other promotional codes or used for full pen replacements.
Availability: We will provide the discount for the exact nib model where stock is available. If the model is discontinued, we will offer a 50% discount on a comparable alternative nib unit.

A real brush in a pen body

Felt-tip brush pens give you control; bristle brush pens give you character. The Mannen Mouhitsu is the second kind: its polyester bristles split, gather and release like a traditional calligraphy brush, so a stroke can start with a sharp press, swell, and finish in a flicked tail. It takes more practice than a felt tip — and rewards it.

Built to be kept

Mannen means ten thousand years. The name is a promise: when the ink runs out, you change the cartridge; when the bristles eventually wear, you replace the tip unit. The pen body stays.

Honest Note:

Bristle brush pens are less forgiving than felt-tip ones — expect a learning curve if you are coming from a Fudenosuke or Bimoji. Keep the cap on whenever you are not writing, or the tip will dry. Never press the bristles flat into the paper; it permanently spreads them. This is a different, newer model from the Kuretake No. 13 we also stock: the cartridges and replacement tips are specific to each pen, so check the code before buying spares.

Who is it For?

• Calligraphers and brush letterers who want a genuine bristle brush they can carry
• Illustrators who want expressive, variable line in a pocket-sized pen
• Anyone who has outgrown felt-tip brush pens and wants the real feel
• A lasting gift — refillable, with a smart metallic barrel

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

How is this different from the Kuretake No. 13?

Both are refillable bristle brush pens. The Mannen Mouhitsu DT120 is the redesigned model with a metallic barrel and clear cap; it uses its own replacement tip (DAM14-999) and Kuretake pigment cartridges.

What refills does it take?

Kuretake specifies its black pigment cartridge (DAN106-99H). The replacement brush tip is DAM14-999.

Is it good for beginners?

It is manageable, but a felt-tip brush pen such as the Kuretake Fudegokochi is easier to control while you learn pressure.
