Kyo no Oto and Kyo Iro inks are carried at Wonderpens in Canada. Definitely not the cheapest of inks, but they're fascinating. I'm getting some samples shipped to me.

Very interesting ink! I don't know whether I see it correctly on my screen but it looks as if some your writing samples have a tiny sheen frame! I like this effect very much as it give this dim hue a modest touch of splendour. Up till know I didn't test this ink and this brand but it makes a very interesting appearance! So thank you for your great review!

I have just spent a day in business meetings in Taipei and managed to have a chance to visit T Y Lee, the famous pen shop in this city. They appear to stock all the Kyo Noto inks for Taiwanese $400, which is a very reasonable price. I expect they will ship consignments for overseas customers. I stocked up on two bottles of this Adzukiiro colour as I am a fan of any colour of the reddish-purple Amethyst variety.

This ink is available in the US from Vanness and Anderson Pens, though the latter is currently out of stock of a number of the Kyoto TAG inks.

Great review as always!

A really uncommon colour in my opinion. And really reminds me Adzuki beans!

Is that what red bean paste is made of? The color of the beans looks very close to the paste.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Yes, the adzuki marmelade (the one contained in the dorayaki) is made of those beans!

      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
