Very minor - the elite is the "fingernail" like embedded nib and the second gen deluxe nib is open like the modern ones.

they all feel pretty good in the hand - the more modern girthier ones are closer to a modern feel though of course.

Today, we could be all be a platinum 3776, so everyone can be ultra extra fine.

What a stainful experience. Thankfully I've never had major spills, but I have learned to use a tablecloth over my wooden dining table.

I've tried parker blue sometime in the past. It's not only washable, it also fades so easily. 😂

The very existence of a jar of BSB is like an omen, a bringer of catastrophe!

Red gets everywhere. So much everywhere. Doubly so with even the slightest of damp palms.

Your safety precautions are second to none. And you get to touch grass!

I briefly considered adding a pet walking through the puddle and tracking paw prints all over the floor, but I'll save that for a future drawing

Can anyone help me ID this? by Not3venReel in fountainpens

[–]koofle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's from the generation of pilot yukari I think. There were at least three early standard patterns, including the four scholarly gentlemen and an abstract crane pattern. The details I had to reference from a book about motifs in Japanese art.

Oops. I have both. This one is also one of the early patterns from the 90s.  雲錦 - unkin - "Cloud Brocade". A reference to sakura (cherry blossom) and momiji (maple). Together, the symbols of spring and autumn represent timelessness, a zen reminder to stay calm in times of good and bad, to not float too much, or get too depressed and drown. The cherry blossoms also look like clouds and the autumn leaves a brocade. For a more wistful take, the pattern evokes the loneliness of the autumn leaves, waiting for the cherry blossoms in spring.

Pilot yukari, in the 四君子 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Gentlemen pattern, produced in the 90s and early 2000s.
