My sincerest apologies for the delay in replying...

Thanks a lot for the hearty comments. Much obliged to you, all.


By the way, I couldn't paste YouTube videos on the thread directly after a long-term maintenance from the end of last December. So, all I could do was to paste video URLs. However... As a kind friend who belongs to The Fountain Pen Network has informed me that the problem has already been fixed, I would like to re-post those videos again.


Please let me do that.

It will be much more useful and informative as a reference, I think. :)


OK... From now, I'll go back in the past for about 3 months!

(I'm going to re-post my videos when I have time.)

I am so glad you are back! I am far too busy at the moment to really give your posts the time they deserve. But I am so looking forward to having time to learn more about Japanese pens, especially as I live in Japan and have just gone nuts over fountain pens. This thread has particular interest for me and I hope to start shortly on enjoying all the hard work you put in to it.

On Thu, Oct. 2, 2014, the most famous Japanese FP repairer Mr. Mori will come to Matsue to hold a Nib Clinic event! This is the announcement video for it.

There are two "Nakaya"s in Japan. You know one is "Nakaya Fountain Pen" connected with Platinum at Higashi-Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo. Another is "Nakaya Fountain Pen Shop" at Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture. The latter Nakaya has no relation to the former shop. Anyway, both of two shops are amazingly superb!

Hi there,


The other day, I dropped in at my favorite fountain pen shop called Nakaya ( located in Matsue city, Shimane prefecture, Japan ) to take videos for the members of the FPN. Especially, I would like the members on "Pens from the Land of the Rising Sun" to watch this new video, because I believe some FP lovers here will visit Japan sometime in the future.


I hope you'll enjoy watching the video that I made. :)

Hi there,


I’ve just finished editing and uploading the new video about a fountain pen on my YouTube channel “VirtuThe3rdTV”. As you may know, this is the last video for this thread.



- Masters of The Fountain Pen -

Beautiful Japanese Kanji writing by 8 masters with special footage!




The series of “Masters of the Fountain Pen” is over. As I’ve done uploading all of the videos, I’ll get downtime to restore my "Get up and Go" mode for the time being.（I mean, I remain a member of the FPN.）


Now, I feel really happy to have met many friends on this thread.

Dear my friends, thank you so much for your reading my thread from beginning to end!


And I have to express my sincere gratitude to administrations of the FPN. I don’t have words to describe my appreciation to them. I can never thank you enough…


In closing, I would like to thank you all for your posting hearty comments and watching my videos.

Hope we can get together sometime on “Pens from the Land of the Rising Sun”.



See you again!

      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
