- Michael Masuyama, an expert at fountain pen restoration, explains how he came to find his unusual career path (and life-purpose), and why nothing writes like a fountain pen. Read the full story here: craftsmanship....
Masuyama-san has saved 2 of my beloved pens, one, a Waterman Exception Night and Day, which Waterman told me they would fix for $495, and another, a Pelikan M1000, which Pelikan said they could sell me a new nib for some amount over $300. I am most appreciative that his talents are not limited to making a nib write in his style, but that each of these pens he was able to repair in a way that maintained the original writing character of the pen.
That's truly impressive! It's wonderful to have someone with such expertise in the art of pen restoration.
Mike is an excellent nib-meister and an excellent person to know. We're really luck to have him in our community.
Great video! Mr. Masuyama, I sure hope that you will be training someone to take over your business whenever you decide to retire. Skills like you have should not be lost!
WOW!!!! To see and hear a master of fountain pen. WOW!!!! Thank you for the video👏👏👏👌👌👌
Our pleasure! We're glad you enjoyed the video.
Mike does incredible work. I have multiple custom ground nibs, none are anywhere close to as perfect as my Matsuyama grind.
Congratulations for being so brave!! Thank you very much.
Love this video, I got into fountain pens, thanks to a pen I found in my father's desk after he passed away.
Top video, watched it several times. Like you I found my late father's pen but in his briefcase many years after his passing. I got into fountain pens not because of this but was nonetheless very happy and honoured to keep using his pen which is a Parker 45 GT amongst many others on a regular basis. Pen on! I say :-)
In the words of the late great James Mason the actor
"oh, what an unfortunate way to acquire knowledge".
Excellent piece! Mike does amazing work!
Putting a face to the famous name. Glad I stumbled upon this video. Honored.
Michael has worked on many of my pens and I trust and love his work!
Take a bow , Sir! You’re a master craftsman. Thanks.
Good job please keep making
I have a Mike Masuyama nib on one of my Franklin-Christoph pens, and his work is highly recommended.
Mike turned my Sailor Zoom nib into an amazing stub. Buttery smooth, and writes like a dream.
That is great to hear!
Love your work, Mike. I'm thrilled to have several Masuyama nibs.
I've heard Mr Masayama does great work. It's exciting for me to see this video. Thank you!
You're amazing!
Good job keep making
Thank you for your excellent service.
Cool. They look different in person, it's always best, after gathering data, to see the pens in person.
His name should have beed displayed. Who's he and where is he from?:-)
Definitely a better writer than the ballpoint.

Amazing sir ji
Omg this is so wholesome I love it ;-;
Thanks.
Where do we apply to work with him? 😃😃😃
👍
: I bought a used Mont Blanc pen about 25 years ago. I tried writing with it, but it seemed to scratch poorly. I never touched it again. I am left handed and perhaps the previous owner was not. Maybe this is the reason it does not write well. Can you help me?
Hi Anthony, unfortunately, we are not fountain pen experts. We are an online magazine, we highlight craftsmanship’s contributions to innovation, creativity & sustainability.
Pen Meisters are wizards, do not be deceived, they really learn their craft during an elective course at Hogwarts.
How can I become a nibmeister?
What I like is the fact that he wears a Rolex. I want to train under him!
