But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features. Kakimori's artisan-made pen holders have all of them—plus, they're made with natural materials for a stunning look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Kakimori Sakura Wood Pen Holder, made from Japanese cherry by local woodworkers.  It's sanded perfectly smooth and treated with a nearly invisible coat of ink-resistant finish, so you have a moment to clean off stray ink before it absorbs into the wood. The organic surface and the understated, graceful appearance of natural cherry wood are on full display, without a thick coat of lacquer to obscure them. The holder is gently tapered toward the back, with a low center of gravity and a perfect 7\" length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Kakimori dip pen holder is fitted with a Tachikawa universal nib mount. The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt.

We've never seen anything quite like it: a conical nib with eight capillary slits carved into the sides, capable of holding a surprising amount of ink near the surface of the nib. Submerge the Kakimori Brass Nib in pigment ink, liquid watercolor, or any other water-based artist ink, and it quickly fills with color. Then, you can write or draw for a long time before needing to dip again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just the high capacity that distinguishes this nib from traditional dip pens. It's an incredibly expressive sketching tool, because the ink is continually drawn to the variously shaped surfaces of the nib through capillary action. The ink doesn't run and drip; it adheres to the tip and the wider, wedge-shaped areas around it. As a result of this unique design, you can quickly transition between line weights, shapes, and flow rates by turning and angling the nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause you can use it with such a wide range of wet media, the Kakimori Brass Nib is truly a game-changer for artists in a variety of disciplines. Calligraphers will appreciate the ability to write longer pieces without constant re-inking and the unique line transitions this nib offers. Illustrators and cartoonists can pair the ease of use of a fountain pen with their favorite pigment inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you enjoy watercolor sketching, the Brass Nib might just change the way you work.

The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features.

Shikiori is Sailor's flagship collection of inks: twenty nature-inspired colors that celebrate Japan's four seasons.

It's capable of thin or thick lines, and the water-thin ink flows freely for quick fills and saturated strokes. Every color is subtle and well-chosen, and each responds differently when blended with water. You'll notice the little ripples and waves of the various dyes as they separate in dilution. Fountain pen users and urban sketchers, of course, will already be familiar with the unique beauty of a dye ink wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you don't draw or paint, Shikiori Brush Pens might still merit a prominent spot on your desk. Because they're so bright and transparent, they're excellent for highlighting, underlining, color coding, and taking notes. This is where Shikiori's other tip really shines. It's a flexible, fine, porous point, similar to other Japanese \"sign pens,\" with nice line variation even though the tip is quite small.

The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features.
