Wow! This is starting to get exciting!

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Since I have yet to finish a bottle of ink, I will totally follow this. But I must ask, are you starting to hate or get bored of Tsuki-Yo yet?

not at all!

I use it a lot professionally, when the circumstances seem t require a 'normal' colour, instead of using a regular black or blue, I use Tsuki-Yo. Doesn't offend anyone yet gives me great pleasure when writing. And to keep things interesting here, I now use it also with the pen that's on my desk. (But I've got two pens in the mail and that will mess things up again :unsure: )

As a matter of fact, I emptied a HUGE sample (must've been between 15 and 20ml) before buying the bottle.

That makes a great deal of sense. I haven't used Tsuki-Yo, the only Iroshizuku ink I have is Yama-Budo. But I love it and the way it writes. Perhaps I will add Tsuki-Yo to my want list! :)

This is very neat to me. I'm still new to bottled ink; I'm curious about how long a bottle lasts.

This thread is making me rethink my ink purchases (somewhat). I have a bottle of Syo-ro that I purchased 4 years ago, but only now is it at the ink level of your Tsuki-yo. :yikes:

I may put off the additional 8 bottles of ink I was planning on purchasing this month. -_-

5th refill (Vac 700). No idea why the pic is somewhat bland...

Probably just that... Should wipe it before each picture

You could think of this as a very slow strip tease.

Hey this is like a strip tease. Will a black censor bar be employed?

My bottle of Tsuki-Yo came 4-5 days before your first post. Started using it immediately.

Not nearly as titillating without the tassel.

      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
