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

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.

[Brian Anderson]

Yes, samples will be available when we get them.

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.

[saskia_madding]

What are relatives for if not instances like these?

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.

[Randwulfr]

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.

[saskia_madding]

I'm in Canada and it's about 8 days for me too.

[DessertMaker55]

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.

Honestly, I like them more than I've expected....

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

[Fabienne]

Me, too. Quick shipping and great product. Thanks Atsu!

[WOBentley]

Any chance these are available in Tokyo at the Likes of Ito-ya (or other suggestions)? I will be there on Friday...great excuse to try them out and stock up!
