Any News On The Tsuge Fountain Pen?

[mongrelnomad]

Vertu created a thread about it a while ago and then it disappeared without a trace. Any signs of life?

Hey Mongrelnomad! I too had been searching for any info on tsuge pens but it seems like the project may have never materialized. On another matter not related to Japanese pens-- I bought a Romillo EO #9 and I am so utterly shocked by how wonderful this pen is I don't think I can properly express it in words. Without a second thought, if I could own only 1 pen for the rest of my life this would be it--- no competition at all. I will be reviewing it as soon as I can. Thought it might be appropriate to mention it on the Japanese section because I know it embodies everything that I hoped to find in one of the bespoke Japanese makers.

Also searching for the tsuge lost spirit.... uau....i love this pen! It was a dream? A project? Noooooo... I hope someday will return! I still keep it in my dreams! thanks for the information.

It's an ordered piece and costs more than a Namiki Emperor (about $2500). You can find it on the tsuge catalogue and pen magazines from Japan.
