I love raden, too!!! I'm in absolute lust with a few of those pens you have pictured ... for some reason, I've always been attracted to sakura blossoms, and shell depictions of said blossoms are even prettier

I recently saw a Sailor raden pen that I liked quite a bit, but wasn't able to get it ... is the final picture in your post a Sailor, by chance? If it's the one I'm thinking of, can we get a few more pictures, please? And do you happen to sell them? Or know where they can be aquired?

Also, what's that divine pen in the first picture? I'm guessing it's a DaniTrio, of course, but ... can we have some more photos, please? And more photos of that pen with the gold and abalone shell sakura blossoms? Sorry for being a pain in the posterior, but you can't taunt a person like that! It's just not right!

These pens are lovely, Kevin. Thank you.

I think I like the bunny wabbit best, but my eye is drawn to the abalone shell peacock feathers. If I start saving now, I might have enough to buy one of these by the turn of the next century.

I wonder if the blue turban snails that are frequently mentioned are genus Tegula, Calliostoma or Lithopoma.

I wish I knew you are interested in the Sailor abalone shells, but I sold that. The last pic is by Platinum. I still have this pen, just not getting used much.

Here are some more pics of the first pen which I will be showing for the first time in LA show as it is a prototype:



And the Sakura-Beauty "Sakura Bijin"








glad you like these pens.

Best,

Kevin

Thanks for the eye-candy, particularly the peacock feathers. Wonder when I can own one of these beauties??????

I think I'd love one of these if it were done with some all-over paisley-and-raden. Then again, I just like paisley.
