Sailor Style Dee Delta “Water City” Sonezaki Toutou (Sonezaki Orange)

Recently one of our Japanese FPN members pointed out some Sailor bespoke inks from a shop called STYLE DEE in Osaka with a brand called DELTA Original Ink. I was confused because there is also an Italian pen maker called Delta with a few inks available. But these are real Sailor inks. The inks seem to go along with an inexpensive demonstrator pen ¥4,300, and unfortunately I didn’t put one in my shopping cart.

There were originally four inks, based on the seasons of Osaka.

“Water City” Umeda Yasei (Umeda Night Blue, a deep blue, perhaps a blue-violet)

“Water City” Doujima Ryokkin (Doujima Green-gold)

“Water City” Nakanoshima Shunryoku (Nakanoshima spring green)

“Mizuho” Kitashinchi Beniya (Kitashinchi Red Sea, a burgundy or wine hue)

The two latest inks released August 2016 are

“Water City” Sonezaki Teuteu (Sonezaki Orange, a burnt orange)

“Water City” Tsuyuten Murashime (Purple Rain, a purple or violet)

Recently I was able to obtain three of these inks: the burnt orange, the purple, and the green-gold. I was very lucky with the Doujima as the shop said this ink was sold out, but when the purchaser went to buy the inks, there was one available. I don’t know the availability of the earlier inks, so there’s no guarantee that any of them are available, but I think the two latest inks released may be available.

These inks are the same price as other standard Sailor bespoke inks at ¥2,160 per bottle, which is about $19.10 US as of today (2/11/2017). This price doesn't include shipping to the destination or any charges incurred using a forwarding service. Each person is limited to purchasing one bottle of each ink.

I'm really happy with this ink. I've learned that this kind of orange, what some might call burnt orange, really is quite delightful. Typically it's a bit deeper in value than many oranges, not so bright, so it's quite readable.

 

This particular ink is in between Diamine's Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange and the Kyoto TAG Kyo-iro 04 Higashiyama Moonlight. I'm finding it to be really yummy; it's a nice rich color; very shady.

Pen: Edison Premiere (M-steel)

Thank you for another favorite color from a shop that I only discovered.

 

Mr. Tanaka supplied my bottle of Green Gold after a wait for it "to come back in stock" & it arrived on my front porch on Christmas EVE, becoming a favorite "murker." I actually used it to pen a note of thanks, just last nite & was happy to use the ink.

 

I like Higashiyama Moonlight, Frosting/Moonlight of Arasiyama, Kwzi's Monarch, Kaweco Orange, MB Carlo Collodi & ALL these "just shy of Orange, leaning to Terracotta," inks; they are perfect for a brightened day or page of writing.

 

Thank you for making these introductions to so many unusual inks possible for us, (dialing frantically, 1-800 ATSU, actually I should put him on Speed Dial, #1!)

^Fancy meeting you here.

 

If I can trust my monitor (and it seems I can, according to the descriptions) it's a gorgeous ink, and civilized enough not to raise alarm.

Oh, yes, it is yummy and water resistant. Thank you for sharing!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I don't have the Noodler's Antietam. But looking at the reviews and their description, and the examples at various retailers, I'd say it's not. Antietam is a definite red, while this is definitely an orange. As I show in the review, somewhere between Diamine Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange and Kyoto Kyo-iro Higashiyama Moonlight.

      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..
    • 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
