As the Year of the Rabbit wound down, PenBBS released the 2023 Year of the Rabbit commemorative pen (Model 548). Their "Year of..." pens tend to be quite different from their typical range, with freer design choices, traditional Chinese cultural design elements, and more polarizing style. For the car nuts like me, they are more like concept cars than daily drivers. And like concept cars, they are sometimes a bit controvercial and polarizing, such as the pen we are looking at today.
