"From the moment I saw one of Namiki's beautifully lacquered creations in person, I've been in love. There's something about the deep colour and the feeling of Urushi lacquer in person that's impossible to describe. And being from Japan, it's got a beautiful 18k Medium nib that's at the top of the line in terms of consistency and feel on the page. It just oozes quality."

"Being my favourite colour, I'm quite picky about greens. I've been on the hunt for a good olive green ink, and the Graf von Faber-Castell Olive is the answer to my prayers. Its hue has just enough yellow undertones to make it pop while still being distinctly green. I've got it in my Pelikan right now and I'm enjoying it a lot!"
