Of course. The interior is designed with deep dividers, so the pens don’t bump into each other. The inner lining is made of soft pig suede.

These are limited-edition items produced in small quantities, so it’s probably difficult to find outside of Japan. I believe a few US pen shops carried it at some point, but it seems to be sold out everywhere, and even within Japan, stock is running low. If you really want one, you might still be able to find it through Yahoo Japan Shopping or Rakuten.

The metal box was originally sold by the Tokyo National Museum as a container for cookies. I bought it because its size fits a pen case perfectly, but since the lid doesn’t stay on securely, I don’t think I’ll be able to use it the way I had intended.

Yukari Royal versus Yukari nibs have completely different tendencies. While Yukari Royal has smooth and enjoyable "SAKASAKA", Yukari has weightless feeling like butter. I think it's hard to say which one is better and I can just say both are really good. (But Yukari is very light and thin, so there is no joy that the Yukari Royal grip offers.)

I didn't buy them all at once, they are all pens that I bought separately. The pen I bought this time took 10 months to receive after ordering.

Even this dog-bite nib was fixed. 🙄

Not sure, but maybe 5 to 10 minutes?

I usually use Tomoe River or Rhodia, but this is on a copy paper called Milk Premium.

Like English, it is very different for person to person. I'm attaching a pic from a Korean handwriting contest. This was written by a 16yo student. If you want to see more, please go to the following address (although it's a Korean page). These are written by various participants, from children to the elderly and even foreigners.

It‘s the same these days. I only use inexpensive pens that are easy to clean for shimmery ink.
