Great video! Thanks, Virtu.

 

I do love Japanese tradition, craftsmanship and everything related.

Reading this thread and watching your YouTube videos has been a great pleasure for me.

What JJ said! Except I can't see the videos any more.

 

No smilies either.

 

But the good news is, I have a Sailor 1911 on its way equipped with Zoom nib. My next will be either F or EF.

Sounds good. Sailor EF is really fine but not scratchy!

 

It'll be good writer for your daily use when you take a good note on your datebook.

Virtu: any news about the TSUGE pens? They sounded really fascinating, but then dropped off the earth! Any updates?

There is no official announcement about NEW TSUGE fountain pen.

As far as I can predict, they're doing final manufacturing or brush up

the product quality moreover.

Thanks Virtu. Can't wait to get more info about these (not that I need any more Japanese fps - I am waiting for another Hakase and a custom Nakaya)!

Today, I went to Japanese garden to see a tree peony.

 

Enjoy watching Japan's beauty!

What a beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing, virtu. The human handiwork can be seen clearly in a Japanese garden, which has a natural color and rhythm and a truly interesting symmetry.

Hi there,

 

Platinum #3776 century black with MUSIC nib was released!

Finally... 1911 mid-size, black with gold trim, ZOOM nib, and a Sapporo black/Rhodium and E xtra-fine nib, have arrived.

 

Amazing pens, polar opposites in size, but the XF is as smooth and pleasant to write with as the enormous broad Zoom. I don't think I would have considered an XF without Virtu's video demonstrations, so thanks!

[notVirtuThe3rd]

Congratulations, Kenshin!

 

Both Sailor Zoom nib and EF nib are extremely smooth to write with.
I hope you'll enjoy writing with the new nibs.

 

Thanks for informing me.
