Danitrio 100 Poems - Purple and Gold
Just received this one yesterday!
Much nicer in person than any photos could convey. The photos seem to show damage on the rush pods (gold dots), but that is just lighting. The pen is close to perfect and I could not find any damage. There is a poem, or partial poem written on this pen in the gold in photo 3. I have researched the web to try to ascertain what it says to no avail. Can anyone read it and interpret it for me?

So this writing is an ancient style, the kind you would find on old historical papers.
There are 6 letters, or symbols here. She was only able to surely read 3. 2 should had a pretty good idea of, and 1 she could not understand. So she was unable to make a positive translation. She thinks the meaning is something like "Thinking of _______ a way of thinking". Sorry I could not get it exact for you. |

The nib looks very fine in width.
How does it write?

I haven't inked it yet and am not sure I will. I need to do some research prior to doing so.

I believe I may have found the poem on this pen. 皇太后宮大夫俊成 世の中よ 道こそなけれ 思ひ入る 山のおくにも 鹿ぞ鳴くなる Kotaigogu no Daibu Toshinari Yo no naka yo Michi koso nakere Omoi iru Yama no oku ni mo Shika zo naku naru Fujiwara no Toshinari English Translation: From this world I think That there is nowhere to escape. I wanted to hide In the mountains' farthest depths; But there I hear the stag's cry. I also found the 100 Poems of 100 Poets. http://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese...IS/hyaku1.html
