Last week I have been for a few days in Hamburg (Germany). At the place
where the streets "Beim Schlump" and "Grindelallee" meet I found a tiny
Japanese shop. Just the right shop for me: Papers for origami, brushes for
painting, pin pads for ikebana, dishes, laquerware, lanterns, fans, postcards
with calligraphics, chopsticks, etc. I had to restrain myself forcefully
not to buy everything.

Nonetheless I bought a new brush pen from Pentel. Its called "Pocket
Brush" (Product number: #GFKP). The friendly shopkeeper immediately
told me that he is using it daily and also showed me a somewhat cheaper
model, which of course is much inferior and not recommended.

My only problem is now, where in United Germany shall I get additional
ink cartridges from, when the "convenient long-lasting cartridge
refills" are empty.
