Enhance your writing experience with the 夢万年筆 Dream Pen Japanese Ebonite Fountain Pen. Featuring a traditional and minimal cigar shape design, the Dream Pen uses ebonite material from top to bottom. Likewise, the high-quality material is even present in small parts including the feed, housing, and screw threads. Additionally, ebonite is a durable and warm material that offers a luxurious feel when you write with it. The Dream Pen involves several legendary Japanese traditional arts such as Urushi, Tamenuri, and Maki-e, which date back around 9000 years. Furthermore, each fountain pen is hand-painted by Japanese traditional artisans in Wajima. Similarly, each artwork on the Dream Pen takes many months to create using multiple layers of Urushi. What makes Urushi truly unique is the beautiful lacquer finish, which gets better with age. Finally, the Dream Pen uses Germany’s famous Jowo nibs for smooth writing while the ebonite feeds ensure effective ink flow.

I would really love some more background knowledge.
I am the Backer #162. There is a mistake about nib material.I asked for a 14k gold nib not a 18k gold.
Could you switch it please?. Thank you
1. After we close the survey, we will send you a follow-up email that lists all of the options you have chosen. Since we want to take care of every single order to make sure that the options you chose match with the pledge amount and reward, the confirmation will be sent after survey is closed. Then if you wish to make any change you can reply to that email directly. 2. We have confirmed one more time and your survey was received already. Everything is good now and you don't need to do anything else. We are very sorry for this confusion.
As soon as the confirmation email is sent you will be notified through our update. If you have any concern or question, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Thank you!

"We’ve received your submission.
Please allow us some time to finalize your options. We will get back to you as soon as possible.". Q1: What does the automated reply mean in real-life practical terms? Is there supposed to be a follow-up email from you confirming my chosen options? In comparison, the surveys conducted using the Kickstarter system or BackerKit automatically send back an email explicitly listing the choices made. It's strange that I have yet to receive a similar email in reply to my submitted survey. Q2: I've just gotten another email on 20180323 reminding me to fill in the survey. Do I need to redo the survey? Does this mean the results of my first survey submission have been lost? Please advise ASAP, as the deadline is fast approaching. Thank you.
Just saying European nib size is difficult for anyone to select as within European every brand has different sizes. Why not publish what you mean by your European and a chart comparing your EF, F, etc with other brands so that I can select. Thanks for the understanding

1. The green feed is currently not available so there will be only Red and Black feed for you to choose from.
2. For add-on, we can help only backers to add add-on if you might have forgotten. Please get in touch with us at info@wancher.com for more details. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
1) will the ebonite feed be available in a green color to match the green urushi pen? You had mentioned in the Kickstarter comments that it was a possibility. It was not an option in the survey so I chose the red pen with the red feed, but I would much prefer green, if a green feed is available. 2) I made a mistake in not getting a pen pillow, during the Kickstarter campaign, because I assumed I could always add it on later at the Kickstarter price. Now it's twice the price. I would love to get one. Is there a chance you can let backers add the pillow on at the original price?
Personally I'm not sure if that would be possible. Money has already been collected for the project, and moving from ebonite to urushi would take an increase in the amount pledged, something I don't think is possible at this point.
Thank you!
Send me a second survey to collect my options?
You can resubmit it if you want to make any change. Thank you!
We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you!
We would like to confirm that the red feed is made from red ebonite.
Thank you!
Please check your email inbox for our explanation.

I don't want the feed to discolour over years of use.
I pledged for 2 True Urushi Pen but didn't pledge for the extra add-ons I want.（I thought I could do that after the project has ened）Just wonder if I could pledge for extra add-ons now?
Thank you very much.

Kickstarter surveys usually start several weeks after the end of the project at the earliest. Maybe Wancher wants to wait until some more samples are available, after all they have the pre-surveys to start production as a general votingtrend.
