Danitrio Mikado Red Color Sakurakawa-Nuri

Recommended Posts

So I just spent a long time late a night typing up a detailed review of my new pen, the Danitrio mikado (with clip) eyedropper filling, medium18k nib with ebonite feed, red color sakurakawa-nuri fountain pen, but I accidentally closed the browser window and lost the content. Bummer right, yeah pretty much, but maybe better for you dear reader. I'm tired and maybe had one extra glass of wine too many so here is the short version. Here is what I really want you to know.

 

Sakura=cherry tree, kawa=bark, and nuri=lacquer (urushi) work

 

This pen is:

  • Very beautiful
  • Very big
  • Very good writer
  • High art

There, that is the shortest I can make it. This is an awesome pen made by a true artist. Functional art. I've carried it everywhere and it never disappoints either artistically or in terms of writing performance. I'm lucky to posses it.

 

Just look at it. Look.

EPIC is the only word that comes to mind!

 

Enjoy!

Wow. Normally, I would consider such a fatty as quite too "phoney" and too eye-catching, however... there is something really alluring in this carrot! Like the trend of violet or viper green shoelaces in the oxford-type shoes - officially a kind of controversial taste, but deep inside I find it really tempting.

It may be worth to have a look at my classifieds :)

Magnificent pen in the company of wonderful pens! Thanks for the photos.

By the way, you can avoid losing text like that by hand-writing the review and photographing it--hint, hint ...

      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
