Hi there,

 

I’ve just finished editing and uploading the new video about a fountain pen on my YouTube channel “VirtuThe3rdTV”. As you might know, this is the last video for FPN. Please click the URL below, and you can watch it on YouTube directly.

 

- Masters of The Fountain Pen -
Beautiful Japanese Kanji writing by 8 masters with special footage!

The series of “Masters of the Fountain Pen” is over. As I’ve done uploading all of the videos, I’ll get downtime to restore my "Get up and Go" mode for the time being.（I mean, I remain a member of the FPN.）

 

Now, I feel really happy to have met so many friends on FPN. I have to express my sincere gratitude to administrations of the FPN, however, I don’t have words to describe my appreciation to them. I can never thank you enough…

 

Anyway, I would like to thank you all for your posting hearty comments and watching my videos on my primary topic.

Hope we can get together sometime on “Pens from the Land of the Rising Sun”.

 

See you again!

 

 

Best wishes from Japan,
Kota Adachi [ 安達功太 ]

Thanks again. I was most impressed with the writing of Moriyama-san and Fujii-san, the ones in the two video captures. Can you tell us what nib was used by Moriyama-san? It looks like a Fude-style nib.

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

I was touched to see that the late Kato-san used one of his own hand turned celluloid pens.

 

Can anyone identify the pen that Kawakubo-san used? Looks like it is a very fat pen with a FA nib.

 

I was also most impressed with Moriyama-san and Fujii-san's writing.

 

Thank you very much for this video. I hope you do not stay away from posting too long.

      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
