Very simple yet elegant design. Beautiful pen!

 

I am yet, YET YET to get an Edison pen. *sigh* the Nakaya housogue, then an Edison pen. Blew my budget away this year...mad.gif

 

I'm glad for you.

Stunningly beautiful!

Music, verily, is the mediator between intellectual and sensuous life, the one incorporeal entrance into the high world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend. -Ludwig van Beethoven

Life is like Chinatown signage, its cluttering, confusing but everything that you need is there, just have to look harder....

No, it's not based on the Pearl. It started life as a cigar and then got modified ends.

 

Both ends look like this:

The kanji says, "mood of the poem" or "poet's mood as he writes".

I dare you to pose how many clams it cost you. It's give me a goal to save up for.

 

Not for the faint of heart perhaps but not as much as you might suspect. Based on the finished product, it was a deal.

Hm. Thought it was based on the Pearl. Since it's not then I've moved it under the Custom heading of the Edison listing. :D

 

Besides the shape, it's longer than a Pearl but shorter than an extended Pearl.

Wow, deep multi colored ishime, large curved raden, and maki-e all on one pen. Impressive work, very impressive. Enjoy!

 

The pen is utterly gorgeous!

 

Huge Congrats, Strang!

 

 

I am familiar with the maki-e technique but I have never heard of ishime and do not know what raden is referring to, could anyone bring some light about those terms?

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

      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
