Danitrio Junikaku

[jandrese]

Recently picked up a Danitrio Junikaku. It's a big pen. The extra large #8 medium nib with ebonite feed writes great. Comfortable to write with, really. Very attractive urushi finish that shows nice variation due to the facets. Large, as in over 5 ml, ink capacity from the eyedropper filling mechanism with shutoff valve. Did I mention it's a big pen. Super cool pen. Comes with branded paulownia wood box and microfiber cloth plus a pen pouch that just barely fits the pen :-).

Top: my Pilot 823 demonstrator, which is about the same size as a Pelican M800

Bottom: my new Danitrio Junikaku (12 rectangles) shu-dame tame-nuri painted by Kosetsu (Tatsuya Todo) with medium #8 size nib.

I would love to see this alongside a Namiki Jumbo #50.

Wow! That is one massive pen. From a trip to Dromgoules?

Yup, Dromgooles's has a lot of Danitrio to choose from.

Can I see a picture of you holding the pen while writing or something?

I'm having trouble understanding how that's usable.

Thanks for hte picture! It makes sense now if that is your usual grip.

 

But that grip is definitely out of the ordinary.

Wow! That's a gorgeous pen. Congrats on the acquisition and thank you for the wonderful photos. The Danitrio nib is really lovely.

That's a great pen. I love the big Dani pens. Congratulations.

I think I found that same pen in my mom's dresser drawer when I was a kid looking for fireworks. Now I understand why she was so upset: She didn't want me messing with something so expensive!

I can imagine her frustration. Never let kids play with your expensive toys. BTW I wonder why the OP didn't mention that the pen is on the big side ;-)

Awesome pen- also looks great in the midori and ki- dame finishes. Nice review- the only one I've seen for the Junikaku.

My mistake not available in the ki-dame, was thinking of sho- hakkaku. This shu- dame finish definitely looks the best seeing the pictures again at nibs.com.
