Hello everyone,

After two days waiting, finally I got approved. So glad to meet all of you here. I love fountain pens and the most interesting thing to me is fountain pen mechanism. I love button mechanism and also the capless one (which is very easy to get in Japan). What is your favorite?

 

Im also working on an IOS, maybe firstly an excel sheet that can help fountain pen lovers manage their pen collection. Its lovely that i can share everything about fountain pen here since my friends around my age are with iphone all day 😭.

Thank you and I hope you have a nice day.

Welcome to this friendly little corner of the universe from a fountain pen user in San Diego.

Hello ! Welcome ! I too am a new FPN member. I was in Japan last week, but didn't make it to any pen shops. I love the Pilot/Namiki VP, I have a few. I wondered if these are a better price in Japan than the U.S.. I have ordered online from vendors in Japan. Best regards, George "Arivistapen" Uyeda

Hi binbean,

 

My favorite pens are Japanese and I am very fond of Pilot Vanishing Point. Glad you are here.

Love all, trust a few, do harm to none. Shakespeare

Very nice to hear that you have been to Japan 😊😊

And yes, the price is better when you buy directly in Japan, especially online store that ships within Japan.such as Pen House or Nagasawa or stores on Rakuten and Amazon.

 

Online vendor that ships abroad might offer at a little bit higher prices but many of them are really reliable and have great prices. Lastime when I was in Singapore, I had great experiences with Pisuke, Engeika so maybe you can try them out.

 

Best regards from Japan_Binbean

Greeting from Finland and welcome to FPN! Japan = Awesome! There are so many things I love about Japan starting from the people, food and culture. :)

My favorite fountain pen things are piston fillers (vintage Pelikans especially) and blue-black & turquoise inks. Currently running with Pelikan 4001 inks mainly but finally got around to ordering Sailor Souboku which should be awesome. Too bad it is rather terribly hard to get and pricey in the EU...

Anyway, welcome again, this is certainly the right place to be if you love fountain pens. :)

Thank you very much. I do like piston filler system and Sailor Souboku too. This new line is awesome. Im so lucky that they are very easy to get in Japan. Hopefully you will come here someday 😊

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
