Review Title: Piece of Art

If you're reading reviews on this pen, you already know that Chinkin is a painfully precise technique. You may not know however, that there is currently only one master making Chinkins pen within Namiki's Kokukai guild and he's not a young man. So when Appelboom restocked this line after many months, I had to act.

Yes, the pen is insanely pricey and you could probably go on a week long cruise for the same price. But this is not just a fountain pen. It represents an artform that is being kept alive by sheer determination.
