In the Japanese language, I know the word "omotenashi" is used to describe hospitality. Personally, I think the Japanese omotenashi is wonderful. Thanks for sharing the nice video. I became interested in Japanese hospitality.:cloud9:

Thanks, Kenshin! :)

 

The gold ink sold at Nagasawa is called "Shinkaichi Gold".

I also feel pretty gorgeous.

Nagasawa's limited inks are my favorite!!

I like the rangefinder as well. Love its classic look. Now I'm looking for a medium format RF. What should I get? (;

Thanks for your watching the vid. :)

 

I have many kinds of rangefinder cameras. If you want to

get medium format RF cameras, I recommend Fuji GF670

Professional.

 

It's an awesome reliable camera, I believe!

Hi!

Thank you for this vid! I wish I could understand you!

Your lead pen has a cap? I've never seen that. That's really useful.

My leads always snap off.

I was talking about the Maggiore one, but I like the smaller too.

I've made a quick search and it looks like this big pen case is not sold in Europe or US?

Anyway, I should buy some fountain pen before thinking about a big pen case..

We Japanese can easily purchase many kinds of MAGGIORE pen cases

sold at the pen shop like Nagasawa. Here're some LINKs of KINGDOM

Wonderful! Thanks.

 

Was this video made recently? A while ago I heard that the company stopped making pens, but perhaps that was just a rumor.

 

I used to have some of his pens, but I sold them. The pen bodies were very beautiful, but in my opinion the quality of the nibs and sections were not so high. Because the writing experience, i.e. nib quality, is for me the most important aspect of fountain pens, I found that I didn't use them very much.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

It is not a RUMOR...

 

The company has stopped making fountain pens because

Mr. Kato passed away in 2010. So I feel so sorry.

 

Today, Mr. Onishi takes over the role of Mr. Kato. :)

This is fantastic. Thank you for the videos, VirtuThe3rd.

 

Do you think there is a video hidden somewhere in the National Museum of Japanese History about the making of Sailor nibs?

 

I have been studying the potential role of fountain pens in my own life for a long time! ^^

Is shipping to France free?

I'm not sure I can order.

I'm trying to register but I can't tell that my country is France...And I don't find the contact link.

I can't translate everything with Google :unsure:

When I ask the language to be in english I can't write and I loose the page.

Thanks.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
