I was watching one of your more recent videos yesterday and saw that one of the stationery shops hosted a typewriter club. I thought that was interesting and now am thinking of asking my mom where her old typewriter is. :D

That sounds good idea. You should ask your mother where her typewriter is. If she still has it, I would like you to relish the texture of an old typewriter and to enjoy the traditional atmosphere of it. I believe that typewritten paper itself will make your usual life more happy! As for me, I still have Olivetti's one and sometimes use it for sending letters to my old friends. ;-)

I learned how to type on an electric typewriter but she also had a manual one. I have good memories of doing my typing homework on Saturday mornings listening to Culture Club on my record player. Maybe I shouldn't admit the last bit. It was good typing music.

Thanks for telling me your good memories of the typewriter. B)

I just asked my mom whether she still had the typewriters and it seems that she does. I'm going to see about getting possibly the manual one and seeing if I can use it.

Sounds pretty good! I think that a typewriter as well as a fountain pen is a kind of precious treasure to inherit. When you use it again after a long time, you might require minimum maintenance. Anyway, I believe your mother will be glad if you use her typewriter again. Please enjoy specific sound and atmosphere of the typewriter! ;-)

Thank you for the videos. What is the general rule about taking photographs in Japan? I was in a couple of Tokyo pen shops a few years ago and would have liked to take a few pictures but did not out of respect.

Thank you very much for the comment. Generally speaking, the people in Japan tend to be more sensitive about portrait rights than those of any other Western countries. As for me, I don't care about my being taken photographs at all. I'm always willing to accept and give my smile to whoever wants to take photos. The only thing that can be said with certainty about your question is to approach sales clerk or person there in a friendly way and get permission to shoot! :)

Are there going to be any new pen artist videos in 2015?

 

In 2015? Sure. I've been editing the next video during a free time. I would be grateful if you could be patient.

      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
