Kyonooto Yamabukiiro Ink Pif


Cincinnatus

Recommended Posts

I have a bottle Kyonooto Yamabukiiro that I have used once. The color on the box looked a little more brown than it actually turned out to be and I personally don’t like the color. The ink works very well and was just bought in October but it was the color that I didn’t care for.

 

I have a lot to be thankful for this year so I want to PIF this ink to someone that will enjoy it and it is open to everyone.

 

To be considered please let me know one thing you are thankful for this year. I will randomly pick one person from the entries at 9 PM Eastern Time Sunday – the 26th of November. I will PM you to get contact info. I will also post the winner here.

 

So, what am I thankful for? My family – despite having my wife halfway through a one year deployment overseas and my son serving with the military in the U.S. – as a veteran I am proud of them and feel closer than ever to them.

I am thankful for so much, but my wife and kids the most.

In the Netherlands we say count all your blessings and do not forget one...

 

As I already know this ink (I used it in my daily pen) another one may be the lucky one to receive this

I could list many, but you asked for one so I'll go with the fact that, despite the many societal problems we've encountered throughout this past year, I'm still proud and grateful to be a citizen of the United States of America!

This year my nephew and dad came to live with me. My nephew asked if he could call me dad and my wife mom! We have been looking to adopt. My boy is almost 16 and has ID (intellectual disability). He is a really awesome kid and I am proud to call him son.

Thank you and your family for your service.

I dig the color!

 

I'm thankful to have my health, loved ones safe and warm, and friends around the kitchen table for Thanksgiving dinner while I'm away at school.

I've been admiring this particular ink for a while and it's on my 'to get' list, but that's not until I visit Naples FL again next year. So please could I be considered?

 

I also have many, many things to be thankful for, but you asked me to pick one and it is that we were both in Naples when hurricane Irma hit on September 10th and we're glad that we both survived and came safely back home.

I would like to be added as well, please. I am thankful for this hobby, which can provide a very necessary (albeit temporary) reprieve from the downs on daily life.

Thank you for this giveaway!

I am thankful for the fountain pen community. I find great stress relief in writing, experiencing inks and pens, and I find that interacting with the community as a whole lifts my spirits and makes all the bad in the world just slip away for a few moments. <3

My apologizes - I was going to announce the winner last night but was off line until today.

 

It was nice to see what everyone was thankful for this year.

 

The winner selected at random was guyinkits - I will send a PM to get details.

 

Thank you for all of the entries.

(Not an entry.)

 

Thank you for offering this up. I think it is very cool when difficult-to-find or less common things like this are offered up. I hadn't known about this ink, but I'm glad to learn about it. Interesting color--reminds me of Rohrer & Klinger Alt-Goldgrun

Not an entrant. But thank you for doing this.

A big thank you to Cincinnatus for his generosity and contribution to this community and color me surprised when he announced that I was the lucky member to get to play with a completely new color of ink. If it wasn't for this, I'm not even sure when I would make my way around to trying a yellow hue so I'm grateful to get this opportunity. I've really just started this year with my fountain pen and ink collection (not really collecting but for use of course) but one of these days, if I don't control myself and things get out of hand, I'll be sending out a bottle of ink in the not too distant future. Thanks again Cincinnatus.

 

A few pictures of the ink. Lighting isn't great here in December for me but you'll still get an idea of the Kyonooto Yamabukiiro ink characteristics.

      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
