Very smart of Sailor to re-issue these. Now the only other one they need to bring back is Red-Brown.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

We spoke with our Sailor rep last week and they informed us that they were likely to come to the US, just a question of when. When they are in stock we will have them, which means online as well as at US pen shows we attend. More info as we get it. :)

Woot. Will you also offer samples of these inks? I'm not sure I want full bottles of Souten, Nioi Sumire, or Oku-Yama, so it would be terrific to be able to get 3 ml of each.

Have you had the opportunity to try Nagasawa Kobe #39 "Kobe Brick Red-Brown"?

Definitely keeping an eye out to see when these arrive. I wouldn't mind ordering a bottle from Atsu, though. My niece is in Japan for two weeks as I write this...hm....I wonder if I can talk her into finding some for me while she's there.

For those who ordered from Atsu, may I know how long does it take for the inks to reach your mailbox?

It's been almost 5 days with no updates on my tracking, it generally takes about 3 days for stuff to arrive from Japan to my country so I am a tad worried on the lack of updates.

I'm in the central US, and each of the last two packages Atsu sent me has arrived in 7 days. I have tracked the packages, and they get from Tokyo to NYC *very* quickly (and then they languish in New York for a couple of days before the journey resumes).

I'm in Florida and have the same experience except that mine typically take around 8 days.

It's consistently 8 days for me in the New England region. Tracking doesn't usually show quick updates for me so I stopped looking. He's very good about shipping quickly though. I've been ordering quite a bit lately from him and have no complaints except trying to rationalize why I'm buying more ink. :-)

Thanks for the reply guys!

I finally got an update few hours after I've posted my question. It should be here by today!

If I didn't know better, I'd say the post office is pulling a prank on me.

I'll start saving money now, because you will be getting an ink order from 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
