Oh my! Love them all...and this is coming from someone who used to (before FPN) think that maki-e was not her thing. If I could choose one for my own, I'd choose the White Tiger puddle.gif

This is ABSOLUTE KOGAKU!!!

What a detailed and balanced work, just as expected from this well known perfeccionist...

I have to thank God that my tastes do not coincide 100% with the theme ;) and I have more than enough with my Dolphin (that will swimm home in a matter of days... :lol: )

So, did you keep or release the other Dolphin?

Unfortunately, they coincide 100% with mine.

Yep. Me too.

 

Such glorious expressions. Thanks Kevin.

 

Sorry that I was not able to get over to the Posse -- I hope that all that did had a great time.

 

 

Merry Yule to All!!!

I don't want to brag, but... okay, maybe I want to brag a little bit, but I was able to look at these pens WITH MY HANDS! at Pen Posse. (I <3 Pen Posse!)

 

Also (cooties alert), I licked one. So no one else can have it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not really. Pretty sure licking the maki-e is a no-no.

I don't know. This could be an extra selling point.

 

 

 

The pens were absolutely stunning in person. The pictures don't capture the subtle details and the texture of the maki-e. It was very tempting even when I heard the asking price.

 

Fortunately, I'm next in line for a custom Danitrio (yay!) so I can resist for now. It's taken a year to get to the head of the line for a custom.

This pen is fit for an emperor. :happyberet:

A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.

      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
