I would think
for your calligraphy
you'd want to be looking at
this Kaimei brush pen
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/imagist/visualize/ 
L1100501_detail.jpg.html>
available here
<http://www.danielsmith.com/Item--i-266-150-003>
or a variation I'm not familiar with
<http://www.fineartstore.com/Catalog/tabid/365/List/1/CategoryID/ 
16228/Level/a/Default.aspx?SortField=UnitCost%2CUnitCost>

Can't speak to how the ink will respond to any particular paper;
except to say that I've used my Kaimei brush pen successfully on  
hundreds of different papers over the past dozen years.

Here's my pen case
(including the ever present Stabilo 8008
which does indeed write on glass)
