Tachikawa Nikko G calligraphy pen (set of 3)

The Nikko G pen is a strong, medium flex steel pen originally developed for drawing Japanese comics (manga). It turns out to be as great for calligraphy as it is for drawing. The Nikko G is a great choice for both calligraphy with a pointed nib and illustration.

Why is the Nikko G the best pen for beginners in calligraphy?

The charm of the Nikko G pen lies in its medium flexibility, which makes it easy to create strong and fine lines. It is durable, writes smoothly and holds more ink than other finer pens. These can be used once you have had some experience with different pen strokes. With each pen, we also need to adjust the amount of pressure.

• It's great for beginners and experienced calligraphers. Its tip allows smooth writing with a smooth ink flow, ideal for quality calligraphy.
• It is a slightly harder pen, so it forgives the harder pressure of beginner calligraphers.
