Dear Everyone ~
I’ve stocked Japanese brush pens in the studio shop
since the very beginning, but I’ve never—until now—put
them in my online shop. They are perennially popular.
Their charms are several: they are a pleasure to look at
and to hold, they perform consistently beautifully,
and they give you a lively & lovely line.
Their tips are made of bristles (as opposed to felt),
so you feel like you’re drawing with a brush.
The ink in both the black and white brush pens
is truly, duly waterproof—and I speak from experience
(accidental as well as intentional). Once you’ve drawn
with the pen, you can wash over your work with
watercolour without even a smidge of smudge.
It’s marvelous and mysterious.
I’ve also stocked Kaweco fountain pens from
Germany since the opening of the studio shop.
I always have numerous colours of Kawecos in stock,
as well as a range of refill cartridges. Additionally,
you can use a teeny-tiny converter (which I stock)
to refill your pen with bottled ink.
All colours are possible!
Delightful detail:
Because a tiny bit of ink always remains right
above the nib (in the queue, so to speak), when you
change ink colours, your first few strokes have a
mesmerizing ombré effect—which, alas,
you cannot dependably duplicate.
The pens are plastic and beautifully engineered.
The nib is steel, with a medium point, which provides
beautiful ink flow. I have been known to leave my pen
sitting for weeks, and when I pick it up to use,
the ink resumes flowing beautifully and consistently.
The Kaweco pens are petite when closed.
They are 4⅛ long, and then when you uncap and
place the cap on the non-writing end, your total length
is 5¼ — which I find very pleasing in my hand.
The Japanese brush pens and the Kaweco fountain
pens are excellent for everyday use.
They are stylish and effortless to tote about.
