Thank you for a great review. I have Nioi-Sumire and am awaiting delivery of Shigure.

I love it when people review an entire line of inks! It's really cool to see the theme that Sailor was going for with the seasons. I have a bottle of souten, but oku-yama and shigure look very tempting!

well, the thing is Ku Jaku is an awesome ink and if Yama Dori is within shouting distance, that makes the default win go to Shigure for me. if there was a very close Iro color it might be different, but in the absence of that...

WOW this was awesome! Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thank you for this incredible review!

 

I was wondering if anyone has compared Souten vs Sky High regarding sheen? Is it the same?

NOOOOO!

I do not need more ink.

Okay, I do. Don't tell my husband.

If I get to NYC over Christmas it looks as if I'm making a trip downtown to PFH....

Of course we do not need more ink.

 

We simply Want More Ink.

I'm sure it is a well known disease - Lack-Ah-Inky and it is terminal.

Actually, it's *really* more like "WAAANT! Must HAAAAVE!" :lticaptd:

I don't think my husband will buy that argument. Especially since someone in my local pen club is trying to put together a KWZI group buy....

Although if we go to NYC over Christmas, I notice that the new Sailor inks are carried by Fountain Pen Hospital....

I picked up Yama Dori and Miruai and tested them out this week. The Yama Dori is a showstopper, what an amazing color. I find that the Miruai needs quality paper, good lighting and an M or B nib size to show its stuff.

Thank you for this artful and useful review--and for quoting 'Raglan Road,' my favorite poem/song of true but lamented love.

      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
