{"product_id":"tachikawa-pen-holders","title":"Tachikawa Pen Holders","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe holder that does not get in the way\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best pen holder is the one you never think about. The Tachikawa T-25 qualifies — a straight holder with a double rubber ring that grips G-nibs, Maru nibs, Brause nibs, Mitchell nibs, and most other standard dip pen nibs without adjustment or fuss. It is lighter than most European holders, balanced in the hand, and has not meaningfully changed in sixty years because nothing about it needs to change. It is the holder referenced in most Japanese manga instruction, the holder most likely to be in the hand of a professional manga artist in Tokyo, and the correct starting holder for anyone beginning dip pen illustration. The T-40 is the same holder with a cap that clips securely over the nib and prevents ink from drying on the tines between uses during a session. Useful if you work in sessions where you pick up and put down the pen many times. The cap does not seal airtight, so for extended storage between sessions the nib should still be cleaned and dried.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tachikawa Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"T-25 Straight Pen Holder","offer_id":53244910633288,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"T-40 Capped Pen Holder","offer_id":53244910666056,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/tachikawa-pen-holders","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
