Sailor Miyougi Amber?


Jadie

Recommended Posts

I was reading this blog article and it randomly mentioned some type of Sailor Jentle ink called "Miyougi Amber" (with a picture of a very unique bottle and writing sample to boot!):

So, anyone know what other colors are in the line? Is this an extension of the Sailor Jentle ink brand? Or just the same colors rebranded with different packaging bottles?

 

I hope it's not a limited edition release or something....

It won't be repackaged, unfortunately: Sailor always seems to vary similar inks, as Sam Capote and others have shown with both writing samples and chromatography, so the regular Grenade is different from Oku-yama, Epinard from Tokiwa-matsu, and so on.

 

It's a Hougado ink. Information on Sailor's Hougado inks is rarer than for the inks Sailor made for Bungbox or for Nagasawa (the Kobe series), and nothing comes up for Myougi. It's not as brown as the Kobe Arima Amber and not as green as the Kobe Shinkaichi Gold.

 

What we need is one of those Japanese magazines devoted to a single brand - I forget the name for them - with everything in. Actually, what we need is for Sailor to make all its discontinued inks again: between those and the ones Sailor makes for pen shops, there'd be over a hundred colours, all of them Sailorly gorgeous.

+100

 

The one Sailor ink I really wish I could get would be the 2009 LE Shigure Purple. Arrrghh...back then, I didn't even know fountain pens existed. XD

 

So many colors lost to time...

      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
