Ah, so Sailor has made bespoke inks for a store outside Japan? I see this is a branch of the Tsutaya chain in Japan.

I tried the Google Translate on my phone, and it struggled some but came out with "Warm Bamboo Screen." Which may or may not be right, but it makes sense.

 

I don't usually go for inks outside of the usual business range (blue, black, red), but I might make an exception for this beauty. Is it going to be available in the USA/Canada?

Sorry, these are inks exclusive to shops in Japan. That's the whole point of this thread. I don't believe these are available online.

江戸納戸の色 (Edo Nando no Iro) Edo Nando Color, Nando is a place and its in Shinjuku

江戸暖簾の色 (Edo noren no Iro) this one is tricky to translate noren is a sign curtain (if you enter some ramen shops or sushi shops in Japan it's the curtain that hangs on the from door)

朱鷺の羽色 (Toki no Hane? Iro) Wing color of the Japanese crested Ibis

No, they're just trying to be Bungbox. :lticaptd:

 

A lot of these colors on the labels do not come close to the ink in the bottle. The Kobe 62 is especially far off. Muted purple vs solid blue?

I do see purple in my screen... a lavender to be specific. Yes, is not even close.... but is not blue at all.

Looking at the first page of this thread, it appears that the point was to catalogue all Sailor-made inks, including both the shop-exclusives and Sailor's own-brand stuff (both ongoing and limited edition). And some of those shops will ship overseas, and some inks are available through middlemen. So there is some modest hope for those of us who aren't lucky enough to be following Algester across the length and breadth of Japan.

Yes, the regular inks are on occasion discussed when there is a release but it is about the shop exclusives, which is what 90%+ of this thread is about. None of the shops ship outside Japan, folks here have always used some kind of forwarding service, or had a Japanese address, or had someone in Japan who would go to the shop and buy the ink.

 

In the past, a couple years ago, these inks were much easier for those outside Japan to obtain. Now many stores do not sell the inks online. Algester does not travel across Japan finding these inks, except virtually. miujojo32 has said they have someone in Japan buying the inks for them, by going to the shop.

 

Some inks are readily available such as Bungbox and Kobe. Kingdom Note is fairly available through forwarders in Japan. A few others are obtainable, but they have higher prices, and with only a few inks, sometimes the extra costs add up considerably. But many shop exclusive inks are just not available online any longer.

but I'm not living in Japan... close to it though... just south... and a bit souther than Taiwan

curiously Tsutaya opened a shop in Taipei? any ink names on them and certainly this isnt the first time a non Japan exclusive ink popped up... considering there was a Chinese? Sailor inks existed way way back during the early years of this thread there were some of it

Ah, I understand now. I'm a relative newcomer to Sailor ink (though an extremely enthusiastic one at that), and I've only been through a couple dozen pages of this thread, which, I now understand, was clearly not enough to capture the history and evolution of the conversation.

Just, fyi, the Sailor re-issueof Apricot, Ultramarine, Epinard, etc. prices at Anderson are back at the "list price" of $25. Found only one other shop carrying them, same price.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
