I wanted to share with you the Sailor LE "Koi-no-Takinobori". It has only been released in Europe.

 

It is the first pen in a series of four, limited to 28 pcs each worldwide. The theme is "Waterfalls and Nature". Launched in september only a few pcs are left. The #3 is the last one available for 2016 in the SFPG. A few more are to be expected in 2017. Pictures never do justice to a maki-e. This pen is beautiful and shiny in silver and gold on a black background. On the cap the waterfall is "splashing" down in a dynamic way. The Koi reaching to the top stands out in a raised reliëf. On the body you discover a Koi in a "see through" way under the water. The flowers painted on this pen are three of the seven autumn flowers famous in Japan : hagi, omiaeshi and kikyo. Beautiful work of art.

It's actually a very reasonable price as well. Well, not reasonable for me but reasonable considering similar pens from other sources.

Yes it is considering the skill and range of techniques used.

That's impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
