Pentrace East: 2002 Pen Trading Show in Tokyo

February 2002


Today I visited the second Annual Pen Trading Show in Tokyo, and event organized by pen collectors. There were 8 tables with some vendors sharing the same tables, and the number of visitors was fairly small, reflecting the small number of pen collectors here. Still, it was a good crowd for the size of the room. Pentracer Eizo Fujii of Eurobox was there, taking one entire wall of the room. Len Provisor's Duofold airplane was also there.

I took a few photos of the show, and some Japanese pens on display there. So, here they are. Most of them need no explanation or comment.
