Customization Guide
Stub
 
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. Â A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
 
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
 Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that to Architect’s Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy. For more details, visit our special Spencerian page.. |
Hand-crafted from ebonite hard rubber and equipped with 14k solid gold Bock nibs, the Eboya Natsume is made available in the Large, Medium, and Small sizes and in four different colors: Kougetsu Yellow, Kumpuu Green, Shinkai Blue, and Tanshin Red.
The Eboya Natsume Medium Tanshin Red is made from hand-crafted ebonite hard rubber and is available with your choice of 14k solid gold Bock nib.
The Eboya Kyouka Medium in Tanshin Red combines warm burgundy swirls of red and black with the functional addition of a flat top and gold clip. Each Eboya pen is hand-assembled in a process that requires a minimum of six months from start to finish.
Eboya supplies the raw ebonite stock to most of the major Japanese pen manufacturers, and their skill in the manipulation of this material is readily apparent - Eboya brand fountain pens have a unique aesthetic that is distinctly their own. Not a petroleum product, this is natural ebonite sustainably harvested from the Asian rubber gum tree. As with all hand-made pens, the appearance will vary slightly from pen to pen - no two will ever be exactly the same.
The Natsume Medium size is a true mid-sized pen that will fit comfortably in most hands.
""Eboya - Made In Tokyo"" is engraved on the barrel.
Unlike the Kyouka and Ricchiku models, the Eboya Natsume utilizes a flat top. A gold clip allows you to secure the writing instrument to a shirt pocket, and also acts as a built-in roll stopper.
Bock solid gold 14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex - see our nib customizations page for more information.
The Eboya Natsume Medium Tanshin Red fountain pen ships in a simple presentation box and includes a converter and starter ink cartridge.
Eboya pens are individually handcrafted in a process requiring a minimum of three to six months. Consult our Eboya Availability Chart, updated weekly, to see which pens we currently have in stock, or simply to browse by model, size, or color.
Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships. See our nib set-up and optimization page for more details.
