Recommended Posts

Title sums it up, but for more info I'm looking to start collecting these after having completed Kingdom Note, Pen-and-Message, SanKoDo, lines and most of Bung-Box's lines (still waiting on a couple seasonal inks to show up... looking at you Ebisgold)

#2 Hatoba Pier Blue, #17 Shioya Blue, #27 Kounan Maroon, #34 Sourakuen Tea Green, #39 Renga, and #58 Hyogo Canal Blue are my faves (I tend to favor blues, burgundies and maroons, and weird greens).

#14 Maya Lapis.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I only have some of the blue ones, but they are great.

 

I think these three are those I like best:

#37 Minatojima Island Blue

#38 Kitanosaka Night Blue

#51 Kano-cho Midnight Blue

 

However, #23 Nagata Blue is also a nice grey-ish blue with great shading.

I really like #31 Kalgan Stone Grey. It is the closest to a true grey I've found - no green or blue undertones, just grey. It may not be the most exciting ink out there, but I've been searching for a true grey for a while. The shading is nice & it dries really fast.

# 4 - Kitano Foreigners' Residence Ijinkan Red

#19 - Minatogawa Lime

#18 Sannomiya Panse - the only one I have -so far-, but my top favorite ink.

I just received a bottle and I can say that my quest for the perfect purple ink is over.

Yes its absolutely top one amongst my purples. I think its really hard to capture its color.

I haven't tried many of them but just ordered a load of samples off ebay. Particularly looking forward to #8 Kuta Orange which is meant to sheen silver I think. I don't have enough orange generally.

 

Of the ones I bought, Marchaise Blue, Nunobiki Emerald and Cascade Green- they are all very similar shades.

 

I'm looking forward to some sheeny shady ones as the 3 above are nice, but a bit flat.

 

I used to have Minatogawa Lime and Suwayama Leaf green. I preferred the latter as Lime was a bit light and slightly dry if I remember correctly.

      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
