Two Monami 153 pens

A symbol of daily post-war life in Korea, Monami's basic pen has continuously been on sale since its inception in 1963[4] and is recognizable by nearly everyone in Korea.[5] In 2009 this pen was noted by the government-run Korea Design Foundation as a design that has significantly influenced daily life in Korea.[4] 3.3 billion have been sold, and the figures are still rising.[6]

The pen's designation can be explained by the fact that the 153 was only the third product the company produced and that it originally sold for 15 won,[7] the price of a newspaper or a bus ride at the time.[8]

While the quality and price of this remarkable pen have risen,[9] the design remains unchanged.

The gold-plated version of Monami 153 is also available.[10]

Production bases and facilities

Monami has factories at Ansan, South Korea, and Rayong, Thailand.[2]
