Ohashi-Do In Sendai. Help Locate!


flexy

Recommended Posts

I am in Sendai visiting, can anyone tell me where to go from here?

 

Last I heard, Mr. Uehara of Ohashi-Do has passed. But he had 3 apprentices. Is there even a storefront? Or stall soemwhere?

 

I went to 3 Chome-8-5 Chūō and it was a fish market.

 

Any information would be appreciated!! I would love to see and buy one.

 

Thanks

Flexy

When I visited him some time ago his workshop used to be on the third or fourth floor of a fairly shabby office building. Was not too far from train station. Sorry, no address.

 

They come up for sale on Yahoo Japan once in awhile. You might be able to get one at a really good price.

Thank you. I think I found the building you are talking about. They are in yokohama this weekend, so I never got to see them.

It's really hard to find. Ultimately I called and a lady that answered agreed to meet me and bring me there, but she cautioned me that there were no pens in the store to see or buy because the craftsman had taken them with him. I'm going to try to see them at maruzen this week. I tried a used one at kingdom note, and it was really nice. Had a solid feel to it that is rare. Fit and finish like an Aurora.

They are supposed to be at Maruzen but expe t to need to be patient. They usually have many people waiting to try out their pens.

      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
