Zebra (zebra) pen nib Tama Pen, Newm color It's the Newm color. Engraved with: №120 T. ISHIKAWA ZEBRA TOKYO JAPAN. It's a Newm color Tama Pen (also known as a spoon pen). There are 10. Free shipping. Unused. This pen nib is also one of the popular choices in the "4 Recommended Popular Rankings for Penmanship Dip Pens." About the Newm color: It's a fine-tipped type with an aluminum finish. It's softer and smoother than chrome-colored pen nibs. Also, the ink is less likely to drip, and the Newm color is also characterized by its resistance to wear. It's easy to handle even for beginners, and it's a fine-tipped pen that can produce mellow lines, so it's a popular pen nib among enthusiasts. It seems that several teachers at the Japan Penmanship Study Group also use this pen. The name differs depending on the brand: ・Nikko: ◆Saji Pen ・Tachikawa: ◆Spoon Pen ・Zebra: ◆Tama Pen About the pen nib manufacturers: Lion, famous for office equipment, also manufactured pen nibs, but they are no longer in production. They stopped manufacturing and selling pen nibs over 20 years ago, in 1996 (Heisei 8). Currently, the Japanese pen nib brands on the market are Tachikawa, Nikko, and Zebra. Since the Nikko brand was taken over by Tachikawa, there are only two manufacturers: Tachikawa and Zebra. Zebra pen nibs are a popular brand, supported by teachers at the Japan Penmanship Study Group. There's a story that the older ones are better in performance. The number of dip pens manufactured around 1985 (Showa 60), during the period of rapid economic growth, was a astronomical 1 million gross (1 gross is 144 pieces), but there are fewer craftsmen like in the old days, and I've heard that the skills of the old craftsmen were higher. Also, the Newm color pen nibs are less prone to deterioration and still have the same performance as they did back then. However, they are plated with tin, and in some cases, they may be discolored, but there is no problem with their performance. I also enjoy penmanship, and I change pen nibs depending on what I'm writing. Zebra pens are also one of my favorite pen nibs.
