Daily Ink Reviews From Japan And Taiwan

Recommended Posts

Concise, minimalistic presentation, useful for comparison.

Text is laconic somehow poetic never ever negative. Tactful.

I've been following his ink presentations for a year. One ink every day. 654 inks till now. Many Sailor LEs.

Does have a search engine.

You can use google translation.

Thanks to both of them, if they read me. I really enjoy their work.

Fantastic, thank you very much for sharing!

Seeking a Parker Duofold Centennial cap top medallion/cover/decal.
My Mosaic Black Centennial MK2 lost it (used to have silver color decal).

Preferably MK2. MK3 or MK1 is also OK as long as it fits.  
Preferably EU.

The Hatena Blog's have a lot.

And seeing the category, seems to be balanced in number of Japan and foreign inks despite the many Sailor colours.

Indeed. And all the reviews I have seen show the inks very close to the reality. Excellent blog.

I had bookmarked the first blog already (who knows how I got to find it)

and I'm a follower of the tweeter, but on Instagram, but for the life of me I cannot recall their username now.

Love both of these people's work. They do a great service to the fountain pen ink collector community.

If only I could figure out proper names for some of those "exotic" to my area inks and get some bottles, it'd be great. For example I like both the blue and red-brown here: https://twitter.com/yveslee_TW/status/1086812667686219776

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

A suggestion: copy paste the Japanese hashtags in Google. For instance, copy-pasting "銀座蔦屋書店" gave me Ginza Tsutaya Book Store. And "カキモリ" gave me "Kakimori" which was more puzzling, so I googled "Kakimori ink" for more precise results.

This isn't a precise method because some hashtags are the names of the inks, so results may vary from insects to statues, from writers to pictures of bridges.

      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
