How to buy fountain pens from Japan without paying hefty reseller markups.

Ink maker Tono & Lims’s Christmas Party is one of the biggest stationery events in Japan.

Pilot recently introduced their latest addition to the Kakuno lineup - the Madoromi color series.

2022 was the year when stationery got more expensive, a new ink trend emerged, and traditional pen makers joined the dip pen craze.

2021 was the year when people went back to in-store events, Sailor kicked into high gear, Pilot woke up, glass pens became unobtainable, and a North American ink brand challenged Tono & Lims.
