After 50 plus years as an OEM manufacturer for different global brands, Ta Shin Precision decided to start selling under their own brand, and thus TWSBI was born on 2009 in Taiwan. Their mission is to inspire and recapture the romanticism of art and literature…starting with the pen.
TWSBI's name stands for the phrase "Hall of Three Cultures" or "San Wen Tang" (三文堂) in Chinese. The character "Wen" translates into language and culture. The phrase "San Wen Tang" also brings to mind the Hall of the Three Rare Treasures created by Emperor Qianlong as a memorial to three great masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy. The initials of the phrase "San Wen Tang" was reversed and thus turned into "TWS". The last letters "Bi" (笔) was added with its literal meaning of "writing instruments". Thus combining the two segments, creating TWSBI.
