Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Thanks for the review. Great color and well-behaved, the only brown I use nowadays It and Take-sumi, are the only Iro I use regularly. I'm also using it in a Sheaffer, a Cadet Touchdown with F nib that writes more like an EF.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I bought a bottle of this so that I could try this brand. I found it very well behaved, flows nicely. But, to my taste, it’s a rather cold color.

Matter of taste but it is trouble free and doesn't clog pens unlike Waterman Havan Brown

I absolutely LOVE this ink, I think it was my second purchase after Yama Budo. Thank you for your review, now I must dash and ink up!!

This is one of my favorite browns. I had tried a sample of Iroshizuku Tsukushi, but prefer the color of Yama-guri (I really like sepia-toned browns, apparently, because I also have a couple of bottles of Edelstein Smoky Quartz.... :rolleyes:)

Thanks for the review (and the reminder that I have it -- I haven't used Yama-guri for a while...).

Thanks very much for sharing! A great review of a great ink. In real life, the color is warmer than it appears on your screenshots, at least to my eye.

It is a perfect complement to my amber Pilot Custom 823.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
