Reading through this thread I've come to the conclusion that it was an April fool's joke played at the wrong time of year. I won't be waiting for the non-existent recipe.

Big thanks, Prvt. Toter for this excellent recommendation! I've been one of the suckers waiting and waiting for the "secret recipe" which I also believe was a hoax (motive???). But I have ordered a bottle of Tsuki Yo and plan to be delighted :)

Guys, maybe something (bleep) up with the ink, and maybe the maker just forgot about the thread? doesn't have to be a hoax.

Agreed, mixing inks is a crazy affair... sometimes strange things happen... Hoping it is not just a tease as it is beautiful and I am a sucker for blue. The Tsuki Yo is a nice ink, pretty well behaved, but requires a decent stub or flex nib to get the shading out of it.

Tsuki-Yo is beautiful. Shades differently. Yama-Guri is closer, but bluer and with that legendary sheen.

 

This is no hoax. What a silly hoax it would be. I've sent out samples to a couple of folks. And despite the discouraging negativity and bitterness shown towards me here I will be posting my latest recipe as soon as I find it amongst the moving boxes.

 

Apologies to those who have patiently waited.

Thanks for the updates, going to check out the Yama-Guri based on your comments... my Tsuki Yo is reaching to bottom of the bottle (sad) and will need replaced soon.. heading to the inks section to look at now!.

My apologies! About a year ago (?) I sent a PM to Masque and never received a response. In the absence of any reply to our pleadings lo these many months, I mistakenly came to the wrong conclusion. I'm back to waiting :) :)

Do not worry, I can wait longer :) Please do not be discouraged. Life happens, and with it plans screw up. Take your time :)

As a thought, if further testing is required, many hands make light labor.

Just like when they release the new iphone and thousands of people buy it and then we start hearing rumours that 'it bends in half'. Lol. Six months later they release the new version with hopefully all the bugs worked out.

 

There are several people on the forum who would love to help you experiment with this ink, if help is still required. An eight headed hydra is better than one.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

Unless you use precise measurements, your mileage may vary. Additionally, no guarantees are made as to the accuracy of this formula. My inks may be younger or older than yours, may be from a different batch, or maybe I'm just really good looking and my inks are trying to impress me.

Did you ever come up with an official name for the mix?

I suggest a name with a wintery context. The high shading and colors it put out just scream ice-cold to me. Something like "Ice Storm" or "Winters Night" would be very fitting if you ask me.

      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

      @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
