    Default Hello from Japan, Taizo Okagaki

    Hello everyone,

    I am Taizo Okagaki. I am from Japan.
    It’s nice to meet all fountain pen lovers like me in Fountain Pen Geeks.
    I used fountain pens since I was in middle high school.
    The more I use fountain pen, the more I love this amazing writing instrument.
    I have a brand named Wancher. With Wancher, I want to make my dream come true which is: Making a fountain pen which can make people happy and with this pen I want to bring people together.
    I have not fulfilled my dream yet and I am working hard to make it come true.
    Along with Wancher, I also have an online store named Engeika. By Engeika, I want to connect with many more customers in the world, to know more about their life, their dream and their desired pen.
    And today, with my friend’s recommendation, I joined Fountain Pen Geeks.
    I am very glad to meet all of you.

    Sincerely,
    Taizo Okagaki

    Hey Tazio; you just cut and pasted your introduction from FPN but this is Fountain Pen Geeks. Welcome anyway. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

    Hello Taizo,

    Welcome! You are in one of the best countries for fountain pens apart from the USA! Love Wancher pens, I just bought a beautiful turquiose one via Rakuten and keep an eye on Engeika as they also have great pens. Many people in the USA love Japanese pens and stationery so you are in a good place!

    Hello Taizo, welcome to the forum. Just curious, did we speak on Instagram about ebonite feeds?

    Hello KrazyIvan. I think the person who talked with you on Instagram is my staff. Her name is Chiaki. I just told her that we have Ivan friend in Fountain Pen Geeks!

    Thank you all for your warm greeting!

    I don't know if it ok to post it here or not.
    If it is not ok, please forgive me.

    I made a survey asking about Dream Fountain Pen. I want to know which pen do you want to have. What type of pen makes you happy when you hold it in your hand.
    So I really want to connect with all pen lovers and ask them about their Dream Fountain Pen.
    If you find it ok, please help me by taking the survey here:

    I cannot speak English well, so I speak Japanese in video and my staffs help me to add subtitle. Please forgive me

    Welcome. When I was in the U.S. Air Force back in the 1970s, I live in Aomori-ken for six years and studied Japanese for four semesters. Even now I enjoy reviewing the language, and I'm active in a Japanese-English Facebook group. My first good fountain pen was a Sailor 21 pocket pen that I bought at this time. I have many more now, most recently a Sailor 1911 Standard, and some Japanese-made inks as well.
    In my mug: Sailor 21 P-P M, Cross Solo M, Online Calligraphy, Monteverde Invincia F, Hero 359 M, Jinhao X450 M, Levenger T-W M, Jinhao 159 , Platinum Balance F, TWSBI Classic 1.1, Platinum Preppy 0.3 F, 7 Pilot Varsities, Speedball penholder, TWSBI 580 USA EF, Pilot MR, Ahab 1.1, another Preppy 0.3, Preppy EF 0.2, ASA Sniper F, Click Majestic F, Kaweco Sport M, Pilot Prera F, Baoer 79 M, Hero 616 M, Jinhao X750

    31 and counting

    Wow, こんにちは!I was in Aomori ken one time when I was student. It is my friend's hometown. I love Sailor pens too. I have several pens in my collections. But later, I bring it to my office so all my staff can try the pens too.
