You'll find the video here.

 

Some of the things he says about colours, and about his job, are just delightful.

 

Hat tip to the r/fountainpens sub-reddit.

Such a great video thanks for sharing.

 

You can really see a person who is passionate with his/her job.

Would love to have the chance to get an ink blended by Mr. Osamu.

Interesting video, he seems to really enjoy his job making people happy.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Love the part where he says that colors are "dreamlike".

Okay, if I ever win the lottery I'm going to Japan and track that guy down and get a non cloggy but still saturated version of Noodler's Kung Te Cheng.... B)

Thanks for posting the link. Fascinating video.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thank you so much, the joy is infectious; all those happy faces. :P

 

I read somewhere, though that the Sailor's Sailor blue was for his retirement? I hope he can continue his joy.

      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

      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
