Someone said that usagiya inks are slightly problematic as compared to other sailor inks. I think kojima denim is problematic and Pione too.

Do you have any of these? If yes, can you tell?

I do so love this ink! It was not one of the ones in that line that had any issues, in my experience. It was perfect. :)

Can you tell which ones had issues? I'll get rid of them.

Wow. The sheen on this is amazing! How hard is it to get this ink? (Says the person who overspent a bit at the Triangle Pen Show last weekend, including getting a bottle of Akkerman Shocking Blue, and then went back to the hotel room and ordered 2 bottles of Lamy Dark Lilac before it disappears.... :wallbash:)

Do I need more ink? No. And, well, yes. But the wallet says no.... sigh....

Love the shading on this one. Would like to know where/how to get it as well, please! :)

Can you interact with that site if you do not read Japanese?

I used a Google Translator browser extension to translate the site, then ordered through White Rabbit.

Thanks gylyf. That's pretty ink, but I'm not sure I'm ready to go to the advanced class of White Rabbit.

I'd assume that by the time you get an order to buy in to White Rabbit, and they contact the store, the ink will be sold out.

Thank you for this great review! I've been interested in seeing a detailed review of this blue ever since Algester first posted the Usagiya list. Although I'm not a big fan of greenish blues, this one looks special. Since I'm over my ink budget for the year though (since March... :blush: ) I will add this one to next year's shopping list.

Wow, what an excellent color. It leaps off the page. It would be great if Amazon and/or Goulet would start selling this stuff...

      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
