Bung Box Dandyism

[saskia_madding]

Okay guys, hold onto your hats. This ink ROCKS, and it the closest I've seen the MB Racing Green. I thought Kobe #1 was closer, but now that I've tried Dandyism, I've changed my mind.

It is a dark green that when it shades, shows its lovely olive green undertone.

It looks great on all papers ...

... and behaves really well on all of them. AND it even has sheen!

I fell for this one when I first saw it. A bit like Diamine Graphite, at least with an off-white paper to help bring out the green?

 

Thanks for this and your other pictures - all very helpful.

Interesting.

Looks quite similar to Hougado Moss Black... lovely ink!

[saskia_madding]

I really wanted to try that Moss Black, but it was sold out by the time I started learning about all these cool Japanese inks. <sigh>

Looks great... for me even better than MB'S Racing Green...

[swanjun]

Pretty! Glad I've got this one coming to me already.

I was given a couple samples of Bung Box inks at the LA show, and now this review has me hooked - could any of you share how to order this ink from within the US? I can't seem to find anyone who might be distributing it, and I'd hesitate to order direct from the shop (unless I hire a translator!).

[Moose22]

There's a thread elsewhere -- Inky thoughts I think. Just search saskia's name.

 

Quickest way is to just hit up Atsu-san http://www.ebay.com/usr/cool-japan

 

Send him a message. REALLY nice guy, super helpful. He has Kobe ink for $20 a bottle shipped, but he'll get you bungbox or ishida bungu if you ask.

[JonSzanto]

Thanks Moose, that's excellent information! I've had the Kobe inks on my distant radar, and even have the "cool-japan" as a saved seller on eBay. Much appreciated.

[ac12]

I contacted cool-japan, the Bung Box Danyism is $40 shipped to the US.

NICE color, but unfortunately that price is too rich for me.

Saskia - forgive me asking in this topic, but have you revieved any browns from NAGASAWA series? I'm quite interested in FOREIGNER WARD SEPIA and NADA BROWN.
