Great Service & Unique Pens/acc. From Pen House, A Global Rakuten Seller

Recommended Posts

This is the third of four mini-reviews of another really great and perhaps the best pen seller on the global Rakuten site. To give you an example and thanks to FPN member Algester, I was able to get a really unique Sailor pen with sparkles (not flashy, really elegant), gold trim and one of Sailor's legendary nibs. It was one of their last ones and they've been out of stock, in case anyone is interested, for a coupe of months (image below).

Their selection of all the crazy and unique things I like is amazing, from Sailor Realo pens, Pilot Somes cases, gorgeous Obato glass ink pots, Life and Midori notebooks to Herbin sealing wax.

 

Their logo'd boxes and efficient, lightweight packing keep the EMS costs down and believe me, you'll love getting their shipments, even if it's just a few tiny items.

If you are in the market for Sailor, Platinum or some of the unique brands like Onishi-Seisakusho, your first stop should be here!

 

Here is their link:

One hint is to use your points on follow up orders to reduce cost even further and realize that the web site does not indicate real-time stock status.

 

Like they say, shopping is entertainment!

Oh, I love this vendor, but as you noted, the caveat here is the inventory noted on Rakuten doesn't always reflect what is actually available for purchase. :/ Still, communication is great, what they offer is unique and they take care to package even the smallest of item.

So true; big order or a single item, great care is taken. I really think that Pen House has the best overall fountain pen selection for Sailor and perhaps Platinum in Japan.

      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
