Winner of the Grand Prize – Japanese Stationery Awards 2025!
The Pilot Kire-Na Double-Sided Highlighter is a groundbreaking innovation in writing tools, designed to deliver clean, precise lines without smudging or ink pooling. This award-winning highlighter offers a smooth, controlled experience that sets it apart from conventional options.
At the heart of its design is a sponge-like nylon tip that absorbs excess ink as you write. This unique feature prevents dark, blotchy strokes and reduces the risk of bleed-through on thin pages. Supporting this is the cleverly engineered “Kichinto Guide”—a subtle contact edge that rests against the paper, helping stabilise your hand and maintain consistent brush width. Whether you’re underlining in a textbook or drawing lines across a curved notebook, the flexible nylon tip ensures full surface contact for clean, even strokes every time.
The highlighter uses specially developed quick-drying pigment ink that sets in just one second on standard copy paper, significantly reducing smudging and mess. With this innovative ink and thoughtful tip design, the Kire-Na offers an effortless and tidy writing experience, perfect for fast-paced study sessions or professional note-taking.
