Written music is renowned in the world's stationery industry, and has developed Japan's first fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and brush that does not dip in ink, and invented the world's first fluorescent marker. As the earliest fountain pen company established in Japan, among the three major fountain pen factories in Japan, Shuraku has the highest nib attainment. His "Arita fountain pen" was presented to prime ministers and presidents at the G8 summit held in 2008 as a national gift, reflecting its prominent position in Japan.
 
However, in terms of business scale, Shaw has only three subsidiaries in Japan, with no more than 200 regular employees. All of Siller's products are produced in Japan, and compared to the marketing-savvy and large-scale global production of Pakile, Silak's volume is only one-twentieth of its size, and its production capacity is relatively low. Even spurred by high orders, it was difficult to ramp up supply, and hot-selling products had to switch from destocking to queue-to-order, sometimes having to wait patiently for restocking.
 
The official website of Writing Music divides the fountain pen series according to its shape, but the folk like to divide it into steel tip, 14K, 21K and long knife research according to the type of nib, which shows that the nib is the soul of Writing Music. The best representative of the peak of the pen nib is undoubtedly the long knife research, but the long knife research has extremely high requirements for the control of the pen, and if you want to experience the manufacturing process of the writing nib, it is recommended to start with 21K.
 
Because of the high gold content, Writing 21K is often considered to be soft, in fact, because the thickness is sufficient, 21K is even harder than some 14K, 18K pens, and then with wedge polishing, the angle can be changed to present different thicknesses, strong sense of damping, and there is an obvious rustle in writing, especially the M tip. The M tip of the writing is specially polished, and there is a plane on each side of the iridium grain, which enhances the damping feeling that is weakened by the increase in the size of the iridium grain. After a period of running-in, it adapts to the user's writing angle, and the damping feeling of 21K can provide a more pleasant writing experience.
 
The price of the inker version of the Writing 21K is less than 1,000 yuan, and the piston version is only 1800 yuan. If you really prefer 21K, you can also buy the style of Arita porcelain rod for collection, and feel the blue and white porcelain and colored porcelain skills in the square inch of the pen, the price is more than 10,000 yuan.
 
If the budget is limited, there is also 14K, the writing is hard, and the ink control is accurate, which is enough to meet the imagination of the entry gold tip. 14K 1224 Four Seasons Weaving, high-value Tianguan, priced at 650 yuan, the price is lower than platinum 3776, it is very suitable for personal use and gifts, and the 1219/1029 standard torpedo is 550 yuan can be entered.
 
As for the long knife research, it is the pinnacle of writing music. It was invented by the pen master Nagahara Xuanyi, and no one objected to its "pen king". The nib of the pen is made of 21K gold, the huge iridium grain is hand-polished by senior craftsmen, the shape is like the tip of a knife but the angle is smooth, the handwriting is thin when standing up, thick when lying down, Teton is powerful, the skimming is easy to strike, the writing is smooth, and the degree of freedom of pen control is extremely high. There are also double-layer and three-layer nibs, and each additional layer has to raise the requirements for the polishing process. At the beginning of 2017, the price of ordinary long knife research was 1880 yuan, and now it is 2380 yuan, which is a terrifying increase. Double-layer and three-layer nibs are often matched with a variety of limited barrels, and the price is dozens of times higher. In 2015, Master Xuanyi of Changyuan passed away, and the hand-made Sumerian sterling silver limited NO.388 became particularly precious, priced at 38,800 yuan, which is very collectible.
 
The fly in the ointment is that it is difficult to twist the ink applicator because it is not well made, so it is recommended to smear some silicone oil on the inner wall of the inker, threaded rod, and piston rubber ring, and then use the ink capsule with a syringe instead.
