First of two incoming Dani's debuts...

[jar]

The first of two incoming Dani's got here yesterday and so I got to play with it today.

It's a prototype flattop Takumi Karanuri but never went into production. I even got some pictures between rain showers. It has a fine nib that Richard Binder modified into a cursive italic.

It's very nice. Between the Hanryo and regular Takumi in size. The base color is super dark green, so dark it only shows as green under direct sunlight. Almost exactly the same color as my '67 British Racing Green MGB was.

There are really quite a few colors, the base BRG, a white layer, a cream or yellow layer, the blue-green layer and the woodland green layer.

The second one is beautiful.

Yup but the first is actually the more interesting style and also far more fun to write with.

Is the second the same as the Fellowship Pen in a different urushi?

Stunning,

IIRC it's the same size, the shorter sho-hakkaku style.

Here are the BORING DETAILS

The second is the purtier pen but the first is the more interesting and certainly more fun. I pick fun over purty every time.

Just like women.
