Nakaya Vent 2019 At Sakura Fountain Pen Gallery Was A Succes!


Sakura FP Gallery

Recommended Posts

The Nakaya Pen Event 2019 at Sakura Fountain Pen was an absolute success! Close to 100 fountain pen aficionados visited the Sakura Fountain Pen Gallery to see Nakaya’s lead designer and nib meister Yoshida-San at work. The online pen community from the BeNeLux and far beyond was well-represented, and our store quickly turned into a cozy and fun meeting of like-minded souls that all speak the same language: nibs, nib-meistering, urushi, inkflow, lettering, Tomoe River, … Full of wonder and respectfully, we gazed at Yoshida-San swift and accurately tuning a nib or creating a crisp stub with extra ink flow.

Wow. That looks like a great event. With chocolate, even!

 

I am impressed to see the very simple tooling that Yoshida-San uses - no Dremel, no fancy jigs, just the sharpening stones and vast experience. If you have another event like this I'll have to see if I can make it over from Paris.

Too many pens, too little time!

I Wolldecke like to thank for this epilogue and especially for this great day.

 

I repine long Time with me of it be worth the Long trip for me from middle of germany, but at the end the curiosity wins..... the chance to meet People of Nakaya in europe is really raren and I have an Nakaya with a boring writing music nib .....

 

It was a great event! Catherine and her team where so nice and do everything to spoil the visitors.

To see all the wonderful Nakaya in reality .... I fall deeply in Love with the Piccolo „scary eye“.

 

Mr. Yoshida tuned my boring music nib on my Negoro in an more expressive stub.

 

I spend 5 hours at Sakura, talking. Looking, Enjoy food, testing several exotic nibs.

It was one of the highlights in my pen year 2019

 

Thanks Catherine so much for this experience

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
