That limited Kobe Gogh dark green that cool-japan (after my 3bottle purchase) has 1 left looks wonderful. Vanness also has it, and a WONDERFUL selection of inks in general. Really great seller!

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

^^ +1 on the van Gogh Dark Green, great color and better behaved than the Dark Blue (didn't dry out as quickly but that could be pen-related), though that's also a great color. I'll have to test them again soon.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

These 12 inks are SAILOR bottle ink original Kujukuri coastal limit 50 ml sold by Youstyle on Rakuten. Scheduled to be released at the end of May 2018. I am not sure if they are pigmented or not. I don't think so.

 

None of the Sailor inks under the old Jentle banner were pigment inks, as far as I'm aware.

 

I'm getting to the point of still being able to see the subtle differences between two similar Sailor inks, but not caring enough to want to acquire both any more. It's not a good feeling.

 

fpn_1558415095__sailor_kujukuri_coast_vs

 

I have the three Kujukuri Coast inks and the three Shikiori inks shown above, and I'll say that between the images of the slips of notepaper with kanji handwritten in the Kujukuri Coast inks and the squiggles in the Shikiori inks, the differences in the ink colours are captured quite well and reflect what I saw in my own testing.

 

With the six 'pairs' below, I can see the differences between the Kujukuri Coast ink and its Shikiori 'counterpart', but now that I have a sense of just how minute they are in actual use, I don't think I can bring myself to go to the trouble of importing those Kujukuri Coast colours.

fpn_1558415046__sailor_kujukuri_coast_vs

 

The only 'pair' shown above of which I don't have either colour is tamasakigyouten against irori. I think tamasakigyoten is an attractive colour, not dissimilar to Pilot 100th Anniversary Limited Edition bishamonten ink. I'm still umming and ahing about getting that one.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Im currently in Sendai, and a Maruzen store in the center has an exclusive gray ink with Sendai in the title. 仙臺萬年鉛筆HB Sendai Mannen Empitsu HB

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/272272-sailors-full-ink-lines-including-shop-exclusives-compiled-in-a-post/?p=3126324

 

I left without buying it, because it seemed expensive for basic looking gray. Can’t decide...

 

This blog says it looks exactly like pencil: http://happyinkdays.hatenablog.com/entry/0555

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

Surely that means the manufacturer has succeeded at its design intent, when "鉛筆HB" is literally "HB pencil"?

Website says they (Sailor) won't ship overseas or to forwarders in Japan. So unless you have a friend in Japan who will order for you...

 

At least they are offering them in 50ml and at the same price as their standard inks (¥2000).

I got Sailor Manyo Yomogi, it doesn't seem to be like any of the Shikiori Ive seen. It seems like it is in between Yama Dori and Yuki Akari.

Any site to see the full lineup ?

Sailor's website still list up the Shikiori inks and pens, but can't find the Manyou even in the new product press release.

      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
