    That vendor, jetpens, is an american site that imports from japan..but sitting in europe, for now this seems to be the best method of acquiring japanese writing stuff short of actually flying there personally. You might find that interesting. There are some stylish ones, I wish they had existed when I was younger and needed them in school

      I have a couple of kuru toga pencils, but found them to feel a little spongy. There needs to be a little give to allow the ratchet to turn, but sadly I couldn't get on with the feel.
