On November 26, 1935 the Japan P.E.N. club was founded. To commemorate this day, they decided the day as day of Pen in 1965. Pen is the symbol of writers, but also means P for poet and playwriter, E for essayist and editor, and N for novelist.
The first president of the Japan P.E.N club was Shimazaki Toson (島崎藤村), who is one of the greatest writers in Japan.
What do you use for writing? I like a fountain pen (万年筆：man nen hitsu) for letters, and mechanical pencils (シャーペン：sharpen) for taking notes, four-color ball-point pens （四色ボールペン:yonshoku boru pen）for working.
