If you still have some difficulties for ordering at Rakuten, do let me know. Maybe I can help.

 

I am going to ask FPN Admin if we can have a FPN forum for just you and me :wub:

 

(the editing was just to fix a typo ...dont want any of you getting excited and thinking it was something 'saucy' ...behave yourselves!!)

It looks like all these Kobe inks are available on eBay at the ebay store called "GoGo Japanstyle" or user ID "Cool-Japan"

 

I have not purchased from them yet, So I can not coment , but I am thinking of their Sepia

 

The listings look nice & they say they are working to help rebuild Japan's 2011 earthquake damage.

Very nice inks (and good photos of them)!

 

I don't think you can carry ANY in your carry-on luggage. There are still restrictions on bringing liquids in cabin, aren't there? So, why not just get a small bag to check in, and fill it with ink bottles? I brought four bottles of Iroshizuku last month--in checked luggage--with no problems. Weight should be the only concern.

I have carried on FP ink multiple times. Usually just a single bottle of Waterman black, which I keep inside two ziploc bags. Small liquids are OK it seems. For flights in the US, guidelines are here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/3-1-1-carry-ons I've also carried on a bottle of ink flying in/out of Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.

I recently bought 3 bottles of ink from them. Very good experience and they did have a "combined shipping" rate for multiple items. And the prices were very competitive. So can recommend them!

I have several of their inks from Cool Japan via eBay...great service, wonderful inks.

the Rokko green and Maya Lapis are big favorites of mine...this reminded me to order more!

I looked at the Rakuten page and noted a Sailor pen with Kobe on the nib...looked like 126,000¥ price...wonder if that is still available? I am asking Cool Japan if he can get one for me...

      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
