I've looked a long time for a replacement for Rikyu-cha, and i think this is it.

I understand there are differences, but this is the closest I've seen.

If you're really put off by the difference, I bet you could easily mix the Ishida Bungu ink with one drop of a green ink, and that would get it even closer.

These new Asian inks are all very well, but they are incredible expensive and virtually impossible to get in the UK. Its like showing a kid a bag of sweeties then telling him he can't have one :-(

Saskia, I'm so happy you found a mainstream, inexpensive, widely available substitute for that pesky unobtainium Rikyu-Cha.... :P

I doubt rikyu cha can be replaced. Looking at this ink drying is a totally mesmerizing esthetic experience. I still have a fill bottle, and when it's empty, I will just keep it on my memory (and some paper) and pass to something else.

 

Thanks for the scans! I didn't even know about that brand/collection. How do you say? Kjeljnajja?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
