This set puts the four pointed Japanese nibs side by side — the G for expressive swell, the Saji and Nihonji for steadier lines, the Maru for hairlines and fine detail — and adds a 3mm C-type nib for broad-edge calligraphy. Work through the test paper, notice which nib you keep reaching for, then buy that one by the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEverything in the box gets used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 125%;\"\u003eThe wooden free pen holder takes every nib in the set, so you can move from a G-nib sketch to broad-edge lettering without changing tools. The nib sample book shows the line each nib makes, the beginner’s guide takes you through your first calligraphy strokes, and the test paper is chosen to suit the indigo dye ink. Tachikawa has been making dip pen nibs in Japan since 1935 — these are the same nib shapes professional illustrators buy by the box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tachikawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252016009544,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0709\/2808\/files\/TachikawaDipPenNibSet.png?v=1792231074","url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/tachikawa-dip-pen-nib-set","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
