I'm hoping that Virtu would make the english subtitle for this video...

Personally, I hope someone will subtitle the video in English because I'm dead busy with my work and raising baby right now. lol

At any rate, the video you informed me is really magnetic for me. Thanks!

Very good contributions :thumbup:

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

Thank you very much. I'm glad to be of service. Takuya Okamoto is one of the most famous and skilled leather craftsmen in Japan. He has an amazing ability to make a pen pouch (case) for fountain pens. People from abroad can purchase several types of his pen pouch at KINGDOM NOTE online! ;-)


Just for your information. :vbg:

Hi, zerobuttons. Long time and thanks for the comment over and over again. I'm also eager to go to Present & Correct sometime in the future. As I believe Present & Correct has a good selection of products...I wish I could visit the shop just once.

I don't have a video for it, but here's a link to a wonderfully tasteful stationery shop in Berlin: RSVP. It is just one of many reasons that I wish I lived nearer or traveled more frequently to that city.

Wow, looks really tasteful! Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate that. I'll browse the online shop tonight to my heart's content. ;-)

Kota,

Thank you so very much for making this available, It was with absolute amazement as I studied these videos.

I was trained in Switzerland and apprenticed under a old French master. He would not teach me anything until I proved myself, worth teaching.

I had to learn humility, respect, patience and my place. Over the years, I spent a lot of time just watching him, listening paying attention to details.

These videos brought me back to my days of being an apprentice. So much of what we do is attitude, surrender to the moment, and be in that moment.

And again thanks for reminding how important the skills of the apprentice are.

Hello Mr. Mark,
Thank you very much for the comment. You must be a skilled craftsman. After reading your comment, I began to think I should upload and share the "special chapter" of this video - Interview with Kiyoshi Kato. In the chapter, he talks about his experiences as a fountain pen craftsman. After I upload the next "coffee-break-video", I'll put Mr. Kato's interview on FPN during the rest of this year. This may be my last post on this topic. ;)
Some of Mr. Kato's works.
Best wishes from Japan,
安達功太 [ Kota Adachi ]

You're more than welcome. These videos are DVD-based. Incidentally, this is not a commercial-release DVD (not for sale), however, I have two sets for some reason. Even in Japan, we have to go to "National Museum of Japanese History" in Chiba prefecture or "EuroBox" in Tokyo to rent this DVD (for free of charge). If you download each chapter of this video completely from my YouTube channel and burn the DVD, you can see all chapters on TV. ;-)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
