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. :)

What a lovely gift you have given us!! The video is exquisite. I loved the music as background. Whenever I am missing a scheduled pen show, I will only need to return here to get my "fix". Thank you so much. I only hope I will be able to visit this shop one day. A totally engaging and relaxing experience to view this.

Erasmus of Rotterdam. A genuine Renaissance man: c. 1466-1536. Humanist, Classical scholar, etc., etc., etc.

I will add my thanks to the list. When I saw the title ("Nakaya Fountain Pen Shop") I thought I would see a lot of Nakaya-brand pens (I think I spotted one at about 4:58). What a tastefully merchandised store with so many different brands!

Indeed, they were. And, just for the heck of it, an unlikely individual to associate with them, who, never the less, overlapped with them chronologically: Wallachian Voivode Vlad III, 1431-1477, also known as Vlad Țepeș, also known as Vlad Dracula. Generally not considered a Renaissance Man.

      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
