Nice review!! Where does one buy this ink?? I've never seen it before.

Currently this series of ink is exclusive to Japan. To buy some I recommend asking family, friends, relatives or a quick trip to Japan. Joking aside, it can be bought from Ujuku or ebay. There might be a long wait depending on the order (I waited 4 months for mine).

Ta-daa! Ujuku Shop.

 

 

Yes, I've ordered the Iroshizuku yama-budo (Wild Grapes) on his eBay-Store and have it received today after just two weeks, not bad for a shipment from Japan to Germany. Tadashi Yamada, the shop owner, seems to be very reliable, has answered my questions immediately and in a very friendly way.

 

It's to blame on the reviews from Immoteus to cause me take a look on these particular inks and to spend a lot of money buying one of them (not the last one, I suppose).. :thumbup:

This ink is going on my must buy list. Thanks for the review.

Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think." -J.S.

      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
