I remember there was a Store exclusive ink sold on Massdrop.

 

You can try that storage box shipping thing. Where the store will ship the item to a company in JP then you pay the company to ship it to your location. As it seems like some stationary story stores refuses to ship ink or pens out side of Japan.

the only store exclusive inks that are available in the US are Bungbox and Nagasawa by courtesy of Vanness Pens but these 2 shops are capable of shipping overseas,

You can use a Japanese shopping service that will buy the item for you and then ship it to you.

 

I've used personalshopperj.com with good results.

Shopping services, eBay, a few (very few) Japanese pen/ink shows will ship world wide. Having a friend or relatives in Japan also helps immensely.

      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

      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
