… feedback.
I have noticed that my Sailor, while laying down absolutely wonderful line, is a bit scratchy. My Pelican is also the same. I had no idea it had a term for it.
It was obvious, that this feedback was intentional since any efforts to make a Sailor nib “smooth” seems doomed to failure. No matter what, it puts down a great line, but makes some noise. My only conclusion was that this feedback was desirable to Japanese writers. Does the sound help in translating emotion to the characters somehow?
I like my pens to write quietly. Is that not the case for some?
