Fountain pens are great. -spin-off-

Well, my talk about fountain pens ends with this installment.
I am determined to write down everything I want to convey through fountain pens without leaving anything out!

Hey, all you good kids! Listen up!
Do you know about a legendary pen called a "fountain pen"?
It makes writing letters many times harder and is a bit of a hassle, but it's the highest-grade item among pens!
It might even be the king of pens!
I want to convey this to the children.

And what I want to tell the adults is this:
I don't think a fountain pen is an "absolutely necessary item" between learning to write and becoming an adult.
There are probably more people who go through life without ever touching one. This is because in our era, groundbreaking writing instruments like gel ink ballpoint pens have increased.
Isn't the Frixion pen a representative product of that?
We used to think that anything written with a pen other than a pencil or mechanical pencil was "permanent."
That is exactly the point I want to challenge!

Productively. Efficiently. So that you can easily redo things as many times as you want. The current era is built on pursuing this to the extreme.

Writing with care because it "doesn't erase."
Enjoying the fact that it "doesn't erase."
The fact that it "doesn't erase" is proof that you are living in the present.

Even just once is fine!
Please try writing a letter to someone important to you with a fountain pen.

Wait, was this the right character for this?
Where should I break the line? Oh, there are too many punctuation marks.
Ah... I made a mistake, I have to start over!

A letter written repeatedly while experiencing this.
Don't you think you can write down what you really want to convey? Writing with care, conveying it properly.
This actually seeps into the paper. It's true.
In the past, when I left a job, I once almost cried over a letter I received from a colleague who had come to work from overseas.
Even though they could only write simple Japanese, I could feel their earnestness from the letter, knowing they must have practiced many times.
It was a permanent marker, though lol

There are many fountain pens, from expensive ones to cheap ones. I think if you keep one as a tool for writing special words, it will be useful when you need to use that magic.
Of course, if your feelings are put into it, it doesn't matter what you write with!
However, it seems to me that fountain pens have a special effect that makes it easier to convey your thoughts.

So, with that said,
!A very cheap but fun series!
First is the Pilot "V-Pen," 275 yen each.
I would recommend this most to people who have never touched a fountain pen.
But unfortunately...
It was a product discontinued by the manufacturer, sob.
I had noticed I couldn't find it when looking recently... but it seems there are still places where it remains in stock. If you find one, buy it immediately!

Easy to obtain!100-yen shop fountain pens!
Nakabayashi "Fountain Pen Type Nib"
(It has been in the lineup as a Daiso fountain pen for a long time)

Zebra "Fuente"
(Available at Can★Do. "Fuente" seems to mean spring or source in French. Put your gushing thoughts into your writing!)

Platinum "Rivier"
(Available at Daiso!)

MUJI "Aluminum Round Fountain Pen"
Price 1,590 yen

With that in mind, these are still available! They are easily accessible!
This was an introduction to fountain pens that you can enjoy even at a low price.
There are quite a few images, and I got a bit carried away, so it became long...
Thank you so much for reading this far!

Finally, I wrote a short novel about fountain pens and myself. (It is non-fiction.)
If you have nothing better to do, please take a look lol
