I keep saying it; but thank you for continuing this effort, Virtu! It's making me sad not to live in Japan! These videos make it seem like the fountain pen culture is stronger there then here.

Thank you so much for the kind words over again. Really glad to hear that! Mr.Tanaka is a craftsman who uses potter's wheels for fountain pen production. His "ebonite" pens are stunningly lustrous!

Thank you very much for this, Virtu!! I can enjoy the videos even more now!! I have no acces to emoticons anymore (may be someone can help me with that) so I can't give you the dancing bunnies.

Keep up the good work!!

Happy Writing!, Mainecoon

Awesome videos! I have to say thank you again, Virtu.

I do love Japanese tradition, craftsmanship and everything related.

Reading this thread and watching your YouTube videos has been a great pleasure for me.

 

Keep up great work. :notworthy1:

Thank you for putting all the relevant information in one place.

 

You info on the Daimaru Fujii Central is especially useful, since I am going to Sapporo next week, and will definitely be dropping by that store.

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

      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
