I normally save these types of posts for the weekend Ink Links blowout, but this one deserves to stand on its own. Pen Addict reader William sent me this link of recent show on Japan's NHK Network called BEGIN Japanology - Stationery. That link takes you to the description of the episode, and below are Part 1 and Part 2 of the show on YouTube.
Thank you William for sharing this fascinating show!
