About Kakimori:
Located in downtown Tokyo, Japan, Kakimori boasts a deep connection with its neighborhood and customers. They value the importance of storytelling and the joy associated with handcrafted goods and handwriting. They emphasize a state of coexistence with the four major elements — air, water, earth, and soil — and employ these ideals in each of their products. Their flagship store is well known and loved for their custom fountain pen ink and custom notebook services, which lets customers mix and assemble their own unique tools for writing.
Recently bought this pen nib from this site and it is extremely annoying to use as it doesn't write half the time I try to use it. I tried most of the troubleshooting and different inks for this pen tip but the ink either comes out in large quantities or nothing at all. I tried writing down a small recipe I had and tried using the pen nib but writing it down took 30 min from the inconstant ink flow and just trying to go over the scratch marks the pen made while trying to write. The concept for the pen nib is really cool but it's not worth the headache to try and make it work let alone how expensive it is. That being said this pen might be good for sketching but not for writing words.
