Nib ◆◆ Tachikawa School Pen Chrome 10 Pieces ◆ Engraving: №5 SUPERIOR JIS SCHOOL ENTACHIKAWA 10 pieces, unused, free shipping. This is a dip pen nib, popular for penmanship/manga. Some teachers write ◆naka works◆ in penmanship, and unlike spoon nibs, this nib allows you to draw delicate lines in kana works, making it suitable for penmanship of kana works. Also, it doesn't open as much as a G-pen nib, allowing for uniform, fine lines, making it suitable for drawing detailed backgrounds, small items, and effect lines in manga. Regarding Lion nibs: LION, famous for office equipment, used to manufacture them, but they are no longer in production. They stopped manufacturing and selling nibs in 1996 (Heisei 8), over 20 years ago. This is a nib brand that will eventually disappear. Currently, the Japanese nib brands on sale are: Tachikawa, Nikko, and Zebra. Since Tachikawa inherited the Nikko brand, the manufacturers are only Tachikawa and Zebra. It was a while ago, but it is a nib that is still used by many users of the Japan Penmanship Study Group at U-CAN and other penmanship masters. There is also talk that the old ones are better in performance. The number of dip pens manufactured around 1985 (Showa 60), during the period of rapid economic growth, was 1 million gross (1 gross is 144 pieces), which was an astronomical number. Nibs are made by craftsmen using machines in a craftsman-like manner, but it seems that they still use the machines from that time. I have heard that there are fewer craftsmen like in the old days, and the skills of the old craftsmen were higher. Also, chrome-colored nibs have less deterioration and still have the same performance as they did back then. I also enjoy penmanship, and I change nibs depending on what I write.
