That's an interesting color. Wonder how it would compare in a side-by-side with something like Diamine Terra Cotta.

Thanks for the review.

I was unexpectedly pleased by a bottle of Taccia Cha Brown that I bought without having a chance to test it first. I use it often and would be interested in seeing how that compares to their Ukiyo-e. Thank you for the solid review!

Had not thought of that. I used to love Ancient Copper but it gets so crusty and stains I just couldn't anymore. So far, this Taccia seems to have no such issues.

Nice! Reminds me of Ancient Copper.

The packaging is lovely....

I once mixed Noodler's Polar Brown with Ancient copper (1:1) and got something around the same lines.... it was waterproof :)

Thanks for the review (or not). The ink looks quite nice as you present it. I'd looked at the swab and sample at Anderson Pens, and thought "a muted orange" which isn't bad at all, but not what I was looking for. I really like the Hokusai "Red Soil".

I have that one too. I prefer Koiame. Here is my picture of Tetsukon (blue) and Benitsuchi

      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
