Funny Google would translate these as "caskets," but I thought these were a nice accoutrement to the Kobe line.

Very nice!

 

I have one of the Nagasawa lacquered wood ink bottle holders, that tilt the Sailor/Kobe bottles at the perfect angle for filling. I would get another but I think they were discontinued a while back, which is a shame.

The word "casket" doesn't just mean what you get buried in. I looked it up on the Merriam-Webster website and the "simple" definition is "a small chest or box for jewelry or other valuable things" -- so this word would certainly apply here.

Any chance at all that you could translate the price and ordering info for the box(es)? I don't read Japanese (nor do I speak or understand it), and for the life of me, I can't find a way to translate it.

You can just use Google Translate and put the URL in: https://translate.google.com/#ja/en/

 

I just get it from Atsu (Ebay user Cool-Japan) or you can email him (at his preference).

He has a listing here for Kobe #54 on EBay, but you can get his name and other listings from it.

      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

      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
