I've looked a long time for a replacement for Rikyu-cha, and i think this is it.

I understand there are differences, but this is the closest I've seen.

If you're really put off by the difference, I bet you could easily mix the Ishida Bungu ink with one drop of a green ink, and that would get it even closer.

These new Asian inks are all very well, but they are incredible expensive and virtually impossible to get in the UK. Its like showing a kid a bag of sweeties then telling him he can't have one :-(

Saskia, I'm so happy you found a mainstream, inexpensive, widely available substitute for that pesky unobtainium Rikyu-Cha.... :P

I doubt rikyu cha can be replaced. Looking at this ink drying is a totally mesmerizing esthetic experience. I still have a fill bottle, and when it's empty, I will just keep it on my memory (and some paper) and pass to something else.

 

Thanks for the scans! I didn't even know about that brand/collection. How do you say? Kjeljnajja?

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
