Get your gear right
May 17, 2021I get a lot of questions around the equipment I use.
I am quite tainted in the sense that I really value Japanese quality overall. My nibs and quills are all from Japan. I use the famed G-Nib & Maru and my holders are from Tachikawa.
If I am pedantic: a Tachikawa Comic Pen Nib Holder – Model 40.
I have different models with different colours so that I can switch from Maru to G nib based on the colour.
Where is the best place to get these? Well of course Amazon springs to mind, but if like me, you want to go straight to the origin – then reach out to Deleter – they are a fantastic Japanese store – for international customers – and you will find them here: http://deleter-mangashop.com
They have the entire goods in terms of holders, nibs and inks as well as the specialty papers.
