Yama-budo, hands down is the winner for me and it's a color I didn't think I'd like.

Ajisai is also a sleeper, a really lovely ink.

Shin-Ryoku

 

It holds up reasonable well in fade experiments; it is more vibrant than the swabs appear; it washes beautifully if you are a doodler; and it cleans up  easily.  

 

Momiji is another ink that i just love. It is red / pink and I adore its vibrancy. Tsutsuji is one of the greatest performing pink inks, and I love it for doodling flowers.  Asa Gao is a beautiful purple blue - truly a hydrangea color.

 

Yama Budo has sheen and is beautiful, but I find that I rarely use it.  Comparatively, Shin Ryoku ends up in my pens quite often.

Added more inks.

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

How do the generic namiki inks compare?

 

Less saturated and comparatively boring, but well performing.

      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
