noticed a lot of tourists struggling to convey their message because they can’t speak japanese instead of using google translate, they just say the same thing in their native language but louder. why???

this also deserves to be immortalized here since she drew my fountain pen (and the right color too!!)

so i wanted to know for sure and not just trust reddit the sanzen paper (left) really isn’t as good as the OG tomoe river paper (right) as much as i appreciate them keeping it alive, they can’t keep claiming it’s “just as good” look how the ink bleeds through more

more context digitalization is great but it’s really sad to see parts of paper heritage fade away

the box a Nakaya pen (and most urushi pens) comes with is made of paulownia wood, which they also recommend you storing your pens in the choice of wood is intentional, despite it being more expensive than timber; it helps maintain the right humidity for the lacquer without prolonged sun & water exposure it’s also a stable wood so it’s easy to work with and won’t distort easily

why do lacquered pens come at a premium? - depending on the lacquer style (urushi, maki-e, raden, etc.) it can take months to finish since they're done by hand - particularly for urushi, the lacquer comes from the urushi tree which is hard to grow and only yields ~300ml of sap (used for the lacquer) after 12 years if you're wondering why some Pilot lacquered pens are significantly cheaper than others like Nakaya, it's because that specific model is manufactured in bulk then hand painted (whereas Nakayas are all handmade in small batches)
