From her profile I believe shes in Japan, more specifically the Kansai region.
What do you write on it? I had always wanted one, but given the current environment, I felt that I have nothing to write about (same goes my fountain pen obsession, so many pens, nothing to write about).
There are many good fountain pens in the $10-$20USD range, and also many Chinese pens are sub $10 (quality control might be an issue).
Just watched it, it was great.
Its beautiful!
There's also a Jinhao A10 that just came out that's another take on Pilot VP. I wonder how the two knock-offs compare.
I use cheap Chinese ink, Hero, Ostrich, and some without brands. I also use regular boring colors such as red, blue, black, blue-black, so they'll do.
The A1 is a solid pen, hope you'll enjoy it.
Cigarettes smells everywhere ...
Oh I love the Kuru Toga, still have my original from a decade ago (I had 2, lost one).
