So, I might have a couple extra hundred in my budget before I leave Japan and was wondering if there is anything sold here that I can't get in the U.S. I should look for? I have been going back and forth on buying another expensive pen to add to the Eboya I already bought, but part of the reason for this trip was to buy a watch in rememberance of my father and I have my eye on a Grand Seiko. So, I have found a Sailor PG Tequila Sunrise that would run about $180 which I am seriously considering. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Looking at the SBGR289 - my budget is limited.

If youre in Tokyo head to BungBox in Aoyama. They usually have some lovely LEs in conjunction with Sailor and Platinum. A tiny store off the beaten path- well worth a visit...

 

Another alternative is Eurobox in the absolutely bats Okuno building. Once a collection of luxury apartments, it survived WWII and now houses a collection of ever-changing micro-galleries in its warren of corridors, as well as one of the most interesting vintage pen merchants in the city. Theres a lot of fascinating stuff there to suit every budget.

 

If youre interested in GS, I assume youve made a beeline to Wako already (although for non LEs the prices are better at Bic Camera and Yodobashi Camera)...

Too many pens; too little writing.

Stop by Kyoto when returning, Kyotocelluloids is very near to TAG inks. Have a look at these Celluloid pens. Some of them are nice, just the black part bothers me.

 

Nagasawa will also send the Sailor pens to US. However, be aware that MF nibs sell out first.

Hit the Tokyu Hands - they had a couple there, but too feminine for me.

Well, I screwed up. I was going back to TAG to buy the Sailor Tequila Sunrise they still had at a great price. Internet said open until 8 - I arrived at 7 to them closing shop. Bummer.

They reopen 9:30 tomorrow. Let the hotel change your train seat reservation. That is not difficult in Japan.

Too much stuff I want to do on my last day in Tokyo and too many other stores there too. Found Shosaikan when searching last night and hadn't seen it before - might try to get there today.

You ever kick yourself for passing on something? I was so close to buying one of the Kingdom Note Sailor special editions and talked myself out of it because I had already spent a lot on myself. I regretted it as soon as I got on the plane home. Le sigh...

      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
