Description

[Machine Translation] *This book is brand new. It is not a used item. A compilation of 22 years worth of articles from the magazine *Shumi no Bunugibako*! A comprehensive volume dedicated to the art of the pen nib! This book compiles articles about fountain pen nibs from *Shumi no Bunugibako*. Spanning 22 years from its launch in 2004 through 2026, this 300-page volume presents the wealth of articles on pen nibs that the *Shumi no Bunugibako* editorial team has compiled over the years. We ve compiled articles ranging from the basics of nibs to the characteristics of domestic and international nibs, as well as features on artisans, nib adjusters, and the differences in writing feel depending on the nib ensuring enjoyment for everyone from beginners looking to learn about fountain pens to those seeking a deep understanding of nibs. Particularly not-to-be-missed are The Profound World of Pen Nibs," which delves into the intricacies of pen nibs through super-high-magnification close-ups, and articles on the factories of Japan s three major fountain pen brands: Sailor, Pilot, and Platinum. These articles explain the characteristics of each brand s nibs by zooming in on details invisible to the naked eye and provide detailed accounts of manufacturing sites that are rarely accessible to the general public. Furthermore, we ve gathered articles on artisans and nib adjusters spanning from the past to the present including the legendary nib craftsman Masatoshi Ishikawa, the Nagahara family, whose three generations have been dedicated to nibs, and Nobuhiko Moriyama of Fulharter. The content provides a comprehensive overview of the connections and techniques of artisans in Japan. It also covers everything you need to master pen nibs, from introductions to vintage nibs and specialty nibs to analyses of writing feel and maintenance methods. Carefully selected from articles in *Shumi no Bunbako* from its inaugural issue through Vol. 77, this book is packed with the essentials for learning about pen nibs. Let s delve deeper into the appeal of fountain pens by exploring the pen nib often referred to as the heart of the fountain pen.
