Join me for a look at my latest fountain pens. I am sorting through my current stationery collection today.

For this update to the feed, I am organizing and reviewing a selection of my fountain pens currently held in my green pen storage case. It is always a good time to revisit what I have on hand and see how these writing instruments are performing.

Whether you are looking for new inspiration for your own stationery collection or just want to see what is currently in my rotation, this session offers a closer look at the tools I rely on daily. We will go over the specific pens and what makes them stand out in my setup.

So after waiting for around two years, I finally pulled the trigger on picking up the Kyuseido Shinya at the 2026 DC Pen show, and now I find myself just a few weeks later with a second Kyuseido Akari that was released at the 2026 SF Pen show. I was lucky to have a friend be able to pick one up for me and I am glad that I did. Both of these pens are functionally the same with the pump piston filling system, but between the different looks and the different nibs, it is two different writing experiences in a good way.

In this video I show the packaging that the Kyuseido pens come in, and I show how the pump piston filling system works with a new bottle of Taccia Ainezu ink on some Crena Lightning Thick paper. I show some writing from the gold tone 14K nib with the F nib on the Akari as well as from the Shinya filled with Vanness Hummingbird Green ink with the CY needlepoint grind on it.

My Kyuseido Akari has arrived as well as the Schon Design Little Dipper, so we will get that opened up and put it to the initiail test compared to the Colorverse Shuttle and the Kakimori dip nibs. I have a new Taccia ink to swatch, as well as starting to swatch the Diamine inks in the collection for the multi paper swatch book. I also have a Royal Sabre typewriter cleaned up and added to the fleet.
