Hi From Japan.

[binbean]

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.

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

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.

Greetings and welcone to FPN.

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 😊
