Reporting positive experience with Tokyo Pen Shop Quill

[Echolane]

I just want to report a positive experience with a Japanese vendor.  I wanted to buy a Pilot Custom 845 Urushi in Vermillion and I got very reassuring advice from a fellow member of this forum that Tokyo Pen Shop Quill was an honest dealer to do business with.  I agree!  I can give a very positive recommendation as my purchase went through with courtesy and timeliness and I am completely satisfied.

I had a similar positive experience with this vendor when purchasing the same pen several years ago.

I can also report a positive experience from an eBay seller known as “engeika”, who was extra helpful when I was looking for a Pilot 843.  His listing was for a Medium.  I wanted a Broad.  He found one for me.

Back before the world went crazy, I was able to purchase a Pilot Custom 823 with an FA nib from the Tokyo Pen Quill Shop. The owner was more than courteous and very helpful. When I return to Japan later this year for TIPS, I plan on visiting his establishment.

I feel so envious that you are going to Japan.  Wish I could visit Japan once in my life, but I’m 85 and it just isn’t going to happen.  I hope the Tokyo Pen Quil Shop is fun to visit.  I have their catalog and it seems like quite a small shop.  I hope you have more than one shop lined up to visit,  Please tell us all about it when you return.

I wish with all hope that you get to go to Japan. It is quite the experience. I have a lot of shops lined up from the Tokyo Pen Quill shop, Itoya, Nagasawa, Marusen in Ginza to a few mom and pop stores along the way. I plan on loading up on my stock of Japanese paper and add a few pens, hopefully, to the list. I am highly anticipating the pen show. I may need to leave my cards at the hotel...lol

Ho ho!  Please brag about your haul when you come back -- and include lots of photos!
