The World of "What is essential is invisible to the eye" Arrives in Daikanyama

"What is essential is invisible to the eye..." is known as one of the simplest yet most profound messages in literary history.

The beloved masterpiece "Le Petit Prince" by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is reborn as a Montblanc writing instrument collection.

The story's world, which speaks to us of compassion and the irreplaceable value of friendship, is woven into Montblanc's iconic Meisterstück line. The Prince and the fox, along with famous quotes from the book, are featured against a deep blue motif inspired by the colors of the cosmic sky.

"The Little Prince" has been translated into over 250 languages, making it one of the most translated literary works in the world.

The story of a pilot who crash-lands in the Sahara Desert and his encounter with the "Little Prince" from a distant star, unfolds in a wondrous world filled with the author's deep insight and yearning for fellowship, imbued with universal allegory.

This collection, elegantly expressing the love and gentleness of "The Little Prince," is available in various material variations, including fountain pens, rollerball pens, and ballpoint pens.

Additionally, a special dark orange ink inspired by the fox's fur and original notebooks will also be released.

A fresh, timeless wonder and a unique worldview emerge in Daikanyama this early summer.

Beyond the exhibition and sale of the collection, the gallery space on the first floor of Building 2 will showcase illustrations (reproductions) from the first edition of "The Little Prince," while "Anjin" will offer special collaboration drinks inspired by the story's world.
