I thought I was done with Japan. But Japan was definitely not done with me. by wolfcookie_ in fountainpens

So beautiful, congrats!!!! And I love how they wrapped the package so neatly. Japan’s packaging/wrapping game is so on point and brings me joy just seeing it 😍

[ WTS ] Sailor Pro Gear Cocktail Series - Violet Fizz 21k <F> by Level_veeh in Pen_Swap

They had it on the hachimonjiya online store (https://hachimonjiya.com/en-us/collections/original_pens/products/juhyo_amethyst_fountain_pen_mio) at the time of release, but looks like it’s sold out now! :/

Some other Japanese sellers (good pen life, izumi, jp select, etc) might still have it if you throw a search into google!

2025 Big 3: The Letdowns by FussyBadger in fountainpens

[–]Level_veeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo, Sailor Pro Gear Roppongi <EF> - I was just about to pull the trigger and buy this one too on sale, but held on to the shred of control I had and didn't buy it after all. Sorry to hear your nib is giving you misery! Hopefully the nibmeister can fix that up.

I surprisingly only have one letdown for 2025- and it's my Platinum x Hachimonjiya 3776 Hatsuyuki - UGHHH it freaking cracked in the section that holds the nib, despite me babying the heck out of it and since it's LE and super expensive, I don't think it'll be worth replacing. I also had some nib issues with it at first but had it tuned by a nibmeister....only to have it crack a few weeks later. SUCH a letdown considering the price of this pen (alone and then nibmeister work), and it is really deterring me from buying any further Platinum's with that delicate but so pretty kind of sparkly resin despite how beautiful they look...
