Sailor King of Pen Brier Wood Green – Buying From Japan

[Schopenhauer]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to source a Sailor King of Pen Brier Wood in the green finish with a broad nib.

The pen is available on nibs.com on backorder for $1,800.00 (€1,547.92) with what could be a significant wait. I am wondering whether anyone has experience in ordering pens directly from Japanese retailers? If so, are there any retailers that could be recommended to source this beautiful pen? How about experience with Japanese forwarding services?

I have found the pen for 132,000 Japanese Yen ($1,259.00 /€1,082.50) on Japanese Rakuten but am wondering whether there are other retailers in Japan selling Sailor pens?

Thank you, in advance, for your help.
