I *love* this range - Tsukushi is GORGEOUS and Fuyu-Gaki is an instant fave for hardcopy markup!

I see that Iroshizuku inks have become very popular in recent times inspite of their being so expensive. I have the kon peki.

Thank you for lovely swatches............makes me want to rush out and buy them all again!!

Yes, I have them - and love them!!!

[MikeW]

May I ask what you use to make the swatches? Thanks.

Im desperate to get my hands on a sample of the Yama Guri. To buy it here in the UK means a fortune in international shipping. Would anyone be prepared to send me a thimbleful, please?

 

Thanks

I want to kick these postal people they would not accept liquids otherwise I would have shipped gladly.

Thanks Akumar, at least you would if you could!

perhaps they are not to blame either. The world is not as safe as it used to be.

MikeW: A paintbrush (1/2" long flat) on 300gsm watercolour paper.

Thank you, Laura. I assumed it was a paint brush of some kind/was not sure of the paper.

Thanks for posting these! I noticed JetPens just added them recently, and I was trying to decide which brown to go with. I was leaning toward Yama-Guri, but I think I really want Tsukushi.

Ordered from Jetpens and just in time too. As I finished my order and went back to the main inks page,

some of the browns were marked sold out.

The Tsukushi is just beautiful..........imagine the shiniest auburn hair.........I use it in my Pelikan M1000 with a BB stub nib and it is delicious.........brown with definite reddish undertones, and great shading! The other brown is really brown - if you want dark brown with no undertones.

Chris - That's exactly what I want! Something similar to Noodler's Walnut that is not semi-permanent, with no red in it. But shipping to the UK is actually more than the cost of a bottle of the stuff. Its crazy!

They have really captured the Japanese fall colours perfectly! Makes me long for a nice soft kaki (persimmon) again... even though I don't like them that much. I will definitely have to get my hands on those browns. Gorgeous!

Oh, how I wish to get my hands on those browns!

 

Guess I need to start seasonal ink budgeting now.

 

Neill78: well, you could always go for kaki (oyster) instead. It took me an age to remember the proper intonation for each, and many amusing confusions in the meantime.

What colour would that be? A fishy grey-cream with strong lubrication? Have to remember to leave the cap on tight and store it in the fridge?

 

I always tell my students not to concern themselves with intonation until they actually go to Japan -- they could master the Tokyo dialect and then end up in Kansai where everything is the exact opposite!
