Thanks that makes me feel better saskia_madding. Now I'll just make some pancakes with blueberries and chocolate chips and I'll feel fine. :)

Deep Dark Violet should still be available. I just got a bottle in June. In fact, when I ordered from Atsu Rakuten was showing most of the Deep colors as being in stock.

Really? When I asked a while ago, they were out of stock and not planning on getting any in. I was going by Atsu too.

 

Do you have a link for the ink on Rakuten? Because all I found were these - http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/hougado/item/hougado-022/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_en

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hougado/hougado-022/

 

- and Nodaiko Violet isn't in stock.

 

 

How do you like the Nodaiko Violet? Have you tried the Moss Green?

I recently got an ink from Atsu that I believe he said was a Hougado ink, though now that I look at it, it doesn't say Hougado (or Pen Gallery) anywhere on it that I can read. (I can read the Japanese kana, but not the kanji.) Anyway, what it does say is Gunma Great Mountain Myougi - Original blend ink. And under that, Myougi Umber. But the katakana is for "amber," and the color is amber, so I am assuming that's a translation mixup.

Okay, it's time for me to weigh in on this thread. :P

 

#1. I've kind of decided to make it my mission to get all these random Sailor inks and test them out, and compare them to each other. Of course, that takes a long time, but I am still trying! If anyone finds new Sailor inks, please let me know so I can take one for the team and snag them.

 

#2. The SOL greens (two of them) and the Turner, Pushkin, and Vermeer (a blue ink), were LE inks from the Kobe line. I got them from cool-japan on ebay, but it looks like they aren't available anymore. Also, the SOL light green is AWFUL, in my opinion - check the review section, I'm pretty sure I posted something.

 

#3. I've got all the Onago-iro ones, and the Pen + Message ones are all on their way, soon to be here (probably Wednesday).

 

 

Damn, more Sailor inks! LOL! Hey buddycakes, send me a PM when you find best way to get these other new ones. Don't have any Sankodo or Onnago-Iro day. Don't forget one of their best ever inks was Red-Brown. Still have two bottles of it before they discontinued it years ago.

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

Don't worry Algester, the #50 blues are sold already and 2 of the 3 greens are already gone too… :( Hopefully they'll be able to get more.

Has anyone bought ink directly from Rakuten before? I'm considering giving them a try, but I know WRE can generously fudge shipping costs so I don't pay customs. I never asked them, they just did it. What are Rakuten's customs forms like? Are they faithfully honest? Because if so, it's worth pay the s/h with WRE.

 

thanks so much for your hard work Algester! Keep it up when you have the stomach for it. every two weeks I'll buy more ink and put up more swabs. My pen + message inks came today, so hopefully I'll have swabs up by Friday. :D

I have purchased From Rakuten directly from the Global site in English twice in the past for pens. It's kinda like amazon and if you ask politely to the store front they will send you a PP request and sell you items even if they don't have a international shipping option. The only thing is that it'll be all in Japanese (google Translate will help here) from the order statement to the shipping form.

 

They have a option on the site for international CC but depending on the store they may or may not accept PP orders. It's more foreign friendly than some other JP sites but no were as standardized as amazon.jp

 

I decided to order directly because I didn't want to bother with proxy fees or services for small items which add up over time. They have major pen stores listed there too so it's not like random people opening their side stores out of boredom or eBay.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
