OSAKANA Fish Pen Case

The EL COMMUN Osakana Case is a pen case shaped like a fish — and it commits to the bit entirely. "Osakana" is Japanese for fish, and this case wears the shape without apology: flat body, pointed tail, the whole silhouette. The exterior is soft polyester with a plush, slightly fluffy texture that makes it feel more like a stuffed toy than a stationery item, right up until you unzip it.

At 290mm long, it holds most standard pens and pencils comfortably. The kind of thing that sits on a desk and makes people ask questions. A very Japanese approach to a very ordinary object — proof that a pen case doesn't have to be boring to be functional.
