Hello,

 

I am in Tokyo now and I am looking for a Sailor quality pen.

Do you know where is the best store in Tokyo to buy a Sailor pen?

 

Thanks!

There are a number.

 

Kingdom Note in Shinjuku should have quite a few.

Itoya on Ginza.

Maruzen. Both stores in central Tokyo.

And, more.

 

What are you looking for?

Itoya (Ginza) will have the largest selection; BunguBox (Aoyama) has some LEs available (I was there a few days ago); Kingdom Note (Shunjuku) has some usually.

Too many pens; too little writing.

Takashimaya (go to the shimbashi/nihombashi main branch) and Mitsukoshi (Ginza) are department stores with nice stationary sections. You might find store exclusives.

My pen is smaller than yours. Now get off my lawn.

I was recently in Itoya (Ginza). They have a large Sailor selection including some pens I never knew existed and I've been around the block as it were.

There is no best store for Sailor pens. Most big pen shops, especially Itoya, have all Sailors available - so you can try to find your suitable pen model.

But Sailor itself has a very limited number of colors - see here what they have:

Colored pens are usually order-made by Sailor for stationary shops or pen shops. But there is no overview which color and which model apart from those directly made by Sailor are available - and where.

You need to look around on the internet. Some are only available on Ebay shops, some have real online stores, some are not available for international trade, some exist only in US - it is a big mess.

 

But first choose a model you like and then check the internet for the color you like - you might have to wait until one comes out that you would like to absolutely have.

 

Good luck anyway.

      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
