If I had such a pen, I think every time I used it I would be ashamed not to have written anything worthy of its craftsmanship.

OK, I am no girlie man, but do love these girlie pens. LOL... Some of these I still own and use, but other has gone to other homes. Here is a tribute to all of them...

One of my favorite I still own and use

The second one is my favorite, and I'm taking a second look at the first one.

 

Suddenly... I need one of these. Sigh.

I've had the chance to handle the first one - "Sakura-Bijin" - quite a few times when I was in Singapore. IIRC, two of the pen shops there had a copy each! Aesthetic Bay had #18 out of 18 and Fook Hing had #8 out of 18. I believe both pieces were on consignment to the shops. A beautiful pen, but a bit out of my price range at the time.

 

A few more of Kevin's pictures of Sakura-Bijin for you guys to drool over: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/43713-danitrio-sakura-bijin-by-kogaku-%e3%81%93%e3%81%8c%e3%81%8f/?p=410941

A smiley is worth a thousand words (unless I happen to be using this particular pen)...

 

 

Thanks for sharing. Now where did I hide my piggy bank?
