Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for reading this topic.

Me and my group of friends who are fountain pen collectors and nib masters are planning to restore Japanese vintage fountain pens.

However, I don't know if you like Japanese vintage fountain pen. And if yes, which type would you like?

 

Do you mind helping me take this short survey about Japanese vintage fountain pens?

https://www.wancherpen.com/pages/revive-vintage-pen

With your support, I will be able to restore many Japanese old fountain pens and find new owners to take care of them.

 

Thank you so much everyone. I am very sorry if this bothers you.

I hope you have a great day!

Best regards from Japan,

Taizo Okagaki

Dear Mr. Okagaki,

 

I do not know much about vintage Japanese fountain pens but I have been increasingly curious. I would like to learn more and I would certainly be interested in trying some.

Took your survey. Wishing you the best in the project!

 

The absence of Japanese vintage pens in my collection has only to do with the absence of Japanese vintage pens in the aftermarket in the US and Europe. Since they rarely come up for sale, I've rarely had the opportunity to consider buying one. Were they readily available, I would surely consider them, and would enjoy owning at least one, to keep my modern Japanese pens company.

I don't have any vintage Japanese pens, although in general I like vintage pens a lot. The closest I have is a Pilot Saturn, which Pilot USA told me was made in Korea for the Korean market. Answered the survey as best as I could....

I enjoy vintage pens very much. Japanese vintage, however, is difficult to find here. I live in upper NY State.

No familiarity with vintage Japanese pens. Only have two modern Japanese pens. Took your survey.

All my pens are vintage, unfortunately, no Japanese !

Same for me

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
