Sailor's Full Ink Lines Including Shop Exclusives Compiled In A Post?


Algester

Recommended Posts

In an exhausted daze, I missed my stopped and ended up in Ueno. A friend asked me to pick up the two new TAG inks when they come out next month, so I used the opportunity to stop in Angers stationery store in Ueno station and ask if they plan on carrying these. They do not.

 

However, in the main window they had displayed their own Store exclusive Sailor Inks. They said they were originally released in August but either sold out or delayed. Today being the first time they were on display or redisplayed.

 

Has anyone posted on these before?

I saw this in Eslite Causeway Bay Hong Kong it maybe have something to do with Disneyland HK

Very interesting! I guess they're just the STORIA line relabelled, and I can see Sailor kept 'Magic Purple' and 'Night Blue' in the eight names.

 

... or maybe not.

Vanness is up to #67 in the basic numbers and they also have some of the special edition inks such as Van Gogh Green, Cosmo Blue, DEN Premium Blue. So they'll probably get this one.

The KN 20 ml "vegetable" inks and "world proverb" inks are listed as "limited edition" on the KN website, so they won't be around forever. There are also corresponding matching pens.

 

And another bottle shape in the Bungbox inks?

Actually, there has been a lot of new Sailor inks released here and there with littke or no fanfare, you just chance upon them when stopping in stationery stores. I recently found three at Angers, another 3 at Takashimaya, Nakabayashi and Taccia are both by Sailor and they have two distinct ink lines. (Taccia is now owed by Nakabayashi).

 

Tsutaya in Ginza 6 has a few new LE colors each time I stop by. Too many for anyone person to know about. They appear unadvertised at a small, out of the way store in very limited numbers. Once word gets out, if it does, some colors are already sold out.

 

Judging how this once super hit thread has cooled, it seems the fad is over.

One can use only so much wonderful Sailor ink, I suppose.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

It's just impossible to keep up with all of them, but also... they do start to look very similar after a while. The last ones I got in bottles were Kobe 68-69 'cos they were pretty unique, but before that I was content to get 4 ml of things that Vanness was able to acquire.

Seems like Kobe has been releasing nothing but pale undersaturated colours for quite a while now...

Yes... Boring!

Bungubox is changing their bottles, and reducing their list of inks to 18. 3500¥ for 30 ml.

 

The inks to stay are Omaezaki's Sea, Kaoru Ink, Lycoris Red, Norwegian Forest, Tsuyuhikari, Dandyism, Piano Mahogany, Clown Teardrop, June Bride, Hatsuyume Aofuji, Fujiyama Blue, Ink of Witch, L'Amant, Sakanamachi Horoyoi, Silent Night, Omaezaki's Sky, 4B Bungu Box Blue Black, First Love Sapphire.

 

Norwegian Forest is supposed to be a replica of Parker Penman Emerald.

First Love Sapphire is supposed to be a replica of Parker Penman Sapphire.

Tsuyuhikari used to be called 88 Green Tea I think.

Sakanamachi Horoyoi used to be called Tipsy Purple.

6100¥ shipping to North America for three bottles. So you can do the math. About $54 a bottle. Whether that will be the price at Vanness, Anderson, and any other US shops reselling them, my guess would be they'd be able to work out a lower price than that. Montblanc LE inks will be cheaper.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
