Masters of the Fountain Pen - Nakaya Fountain Pen Shop - 中屋万年筆店の久保勝彦氏

[@yukkoyukko-webnet]

昨日お店に伺って万年筆の調整をしていただきました。９６歳になられたとお話されていましたが腕前は素晴らしく、とても柔らかくスムーズな書き味にしていただきました。お会いできて本当に光栄でした。

[@MrSpock-hf1lw]

watching this is a zen-like experience.

[@MisterRedBird]

Thank you so much for finding these videos and putting them back up!

[@kapirk2244]

I could sit and watch him fix pens all day. Fascinating.

[@joseph_b319]

What is amazing it is not about knowing how to build and repair. The real skill, is in how his hands, fingers and the amount of pressure he applies to what he is working on. That is where the real magic is at. I love the saying “ the devil is in the details”

[@paulirineomontano5074]

The old pen master is amazing. I want to send my pens to him for tuning.

[@Canoahalla]

that is by far the best comment ive ever read xD

[@sleepingbanshee_]

[@teadeity363]

I need more of these

[@bluevanga30]

I want this song as my new alarm from now on

[@xxdxx3776]

Why is this so underrated!!!!

[@northfieldauto]

Respect to The Master and his Skils.

[@vinayatoshpanigrahi1179]

Thank you for keeping the ads away

[@threethrushes]

The only words I understood were 'hai' and 'arigato gozaimasu'.

[@gardeningtipsandtreats]

We didn't understand a word but we felt good. Like my comment if you agree! Every time you like, I will be reminded of this video and watch it again. Arigato! It's September 2024.

[@fizixguru101]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful artisans art or call it his rare skill Surely has my respect

[@bungaku-nangnan]

かっこいい〜

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Extreme skills.

some recent Japanese pens are probably just common secret to use glues to join the parts together instead of creating design that can be disassembled by average person. I want my Platinum 3776 to be in use for the decades to come but it's probably doomed for being outside Japan because of that... Or that I wish the glue is removable with a special tool that one might just has an alternative for, anyone with experience removing threadlocking glue, maybe? unlike printers that were sold for dirt cheap but the ink costs like more than an Edelstein/Montblanc bottle per volume, at least people who bought $100+ pens usually expects some better aftersales repair possibility if there's retailer in their country(Pilot is known to be the best widespread, and luckily I did have an excellent aftersales experience in Indonesia for a Custom 74, out of all places on earth :)) ) that said, if I do get to move to Japan for work, I'll try to make a pilgrimage to Nakaya and order a Decapod in person. I like loitering on craft shops and usually talk around since nerdiness is difficult to come by for all my life; I know people around the world everywhere else has their game centers or DnD nights, but for one in difficult place in difficult country for almost 30 years, it's no chance, even craft shop doesn't have enough well-versed employee that do more than selling whatever they're told.

[@Shiruvan]

@S Scharnhorst that's great, but lamy steel nib is sold like $20+ in this 3rd world country(and $100 for gold one a pop last time I saw at Gouletpens, N/A here), I can get a new metropolitan or a whole nib+feed of Jowo or TWSBI, get the twsbi vac if I'm feeling fancy, or buy chinese lamy clone and take the nib, though my main aim is to challenge myself to be not such a butterfinger and that I need Japanese fine for writing asian letters. 'It will pay back if I spend 100ml of ink writing with one pen without once dropping', provided the tip doesn't wear down b/c I use extra fine C74 😂, 'cause EF steel nib from pilot is too often really scratchy but I need it as it's finer than 0.3 ball point.

[@charliebowen5071]

Soak the pen in warm to hot water and then slowly work the joint. This works every time if you persist

[@erad67]

Better go soon. The man now is about 90 years old, but the shop still is open.

[@erad67]

I went there today. He's not 90, he's 97!

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

​@@erad67I hope he is still alive and well...

[@АлексейСвистов-ц4ш]

I love to write with ink pens. The work of the master and dedication to the cause are fascinating. I enjoy the work of the master. Very worthy master

[@jeshux1994]

His voice reminds me of Nekota-san, from Hajime no Ippo... xD

[@jisa39]

I just love this video

[@paikiabandboy]

You don’t words. Sheer joy

[@Cristian-rj6zw]

Maestro de maestros 🙇‍♂️

[@raisinyao]

what song being played at the last part when the master is wrting his signature/name?

[@paikiabandboy]

See the Parker bottle. No borders

[@YU-nt6gl]

He was born in 1925. .

[@UmaShankar-ov9nn]

I like fountain pen and it is a great pen

[@daviddoyle9310]

I wish i could be his apprentice and learn from him before what he knows is lost forever.

[@GRN2283]

Worst case scenario, we'll all have to make do with ballpoints. Yikes.

[@sporttowy]

tak. to prawda. piękny fach, niestety odchodzi na zawsze

[@techtruth9077]

Great job 👍

[@TartaricKnight]

At 10:45--10:50 does anyone know what kind of bulb/pipette he is using? I have no luck finding anything similar, and believe it's due to not knowing nomenclature.

[@muskndusk]

Is there a version of this with English subtitles?

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

No need. Just buy a Bic.

10:13 What pen is that?

[@deusx.machinaanime.3072]

It looks like a vintage Nakaya Naka-Ai but with a double gold band

[@jhs1710]

@@deusx.machinaanime.3072 Na, it's a vintage Namiki no. 50, due to the size, shape, filling mechanism and clip.

[@ibrahimabubakarsiddiqui880]

I am also master of pen

[@nubeflotantee]

thank you my master

[@KinicOfficial]

hmm..

[@onewithstache3639]

It's very sad to think that this man's knowledge will die with him, unless he has some kind of apprentice.

[@sleepingbanshee_]

Im pretty sure he has, young japanese are very keen on learning actual skill trades, Im living here in tachibana for months now, im an apprentice in a tailor shop that makes quality suits and dresses.

[@praddzzz]

The Japanese have huge respect & passion for such skills.

[@johnkimball5872]

No he refused to teach his secrets to anyone.

[@alexmood6407]

I can see glue residue where the metal threads part is glued in the grip section. Nib is the same as on Platinum. I like the Urushi Lacquer but overall they are overpriced.

[@eelcj1]

You mean you can’t afford it?

[@martinbaker7502]

You are paying for uniqueness, they can take a month to finish one, history and craftsmanship. If you want a general mass produced pen straight of a production line that is exactly the same as millions of others with no thought gone into it whatsoever visit any stationery store worldwide.

[@filmtajm35]

And for us non Japanese speakers?

[@iteate]

just enjoy the craftsmanship

[@jamesaritchie1]

@@iteate I can enjoy the craftsmanship immensely easier if I know what is being said. So no thanks. There are better videos on the subject that are captioned in English.

[@Cy-pz3rv]

@@jamesaritchie1 "better videos" oh well dont watch this then

[@venkatachalaravi8414]

Subtitles in English was required to understand the skill of this master craftsman

[@erad67]

It's pretty much what you'd expect the people are saying from their tone of voice and reactions.

Skill can't be ignored for phase made junk. Nope!
