Danitrio Mikado Red Color Sakurakawa-Nuri

[jandrese]

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See that? Intense right? You bet.

Oooh, it's all knobbly :-) What a lovely texture.

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.

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 ...
