Thanks for sharing! while this ink may be unique to the Maruzen Nihombashi shop, I suspect for lovers of blue-blacks, and greyed blues, there are easier Sailor shop-exclusives to obtain.

A lovely, delicate, chalky & vintage looking colour. Mmm . . .

Nice colour. Thanks Algester!

I like the colour! Nice one, but I guess I'll have to file this under "unobtanium"

Before I bought Faber-Castell Stone Grey,Hatobanezu was my favorite gray ink. I still love it, even though I use it less often (probably cos it's the only bottle of it I'll ever have).

Thank you. I quite like the look of this (other than availability).
