The odd thing is, he had a bottle for sale a couple of weeks ago that went for ~ $36.

I got to meet the Sailor guys at the LA pen show. It was so cool. I also acquired ink. I'm not sure how that happened.

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

I will definitely make it happen soon as long as you won't be disappointed with my handwriting. :P

 

I am looking forward to see this year's MARUZEN fountain pen exhibition. :wub:

Your writing is fine! Much nicer than mine anyhow. :cP

 

Will you be at the fair this year? My friend may go this year with her hubby and my cousin may attend as well. Too bad the LE ink this year is pink. :c(

The auction highs for Atsu comes in waves and can be dependent on time of year. However, I will say that I noticed the following correlation: When ever a particular shop exclusive is spoken of at length here, or when there's some really nice images posted of writing samples, I tend to see that very ink, shortly after, for auction.

 

It doesn't always happen and it's more infrequent these days with shops placing in measures to circumvent him and other speculators, but it occured enough for me to have noticed the trend in the past. However, it could simply be the poster and Autsu purchased the inks around the same time.

Did they have anything special at the show? Was anyone there selling Kobe?

 

It was the guys from Sailor - here is the picture from Altec Green.

I will have to look at my schedule and see if I can squeeze my time and go to the fair this year.

 

I just tried this ink by using one of the new notebook I had, which I figured out the notebook was truly not fountain pen friendly.

Maruzen inks arrived today. The one advertised as "Blue-Black" does indeed look like a Blue-Black or a dark blue. The one advertised as "Orange," however, looks like a brown of some sort, even though the small color sticker on the box is orange. There is no English translation on the box or label to go by, and I cannot translate the small color sticker on the box. Will ink a pen with it later and send a photo of the color label. I'm afraid I may have gotten someone's hopes up for nothing (sorry, Claudia).

If you can post pics of the boxes, I or someone else can probably help with the translations.

Would it maybe be possible to map the stores? It would help so much those of us who visit, but don't speak Japanese, to track them down...

Too many pens; too little writing.

That blue violet looks nice. miujojo32 gave out the web site url, that's all the info you need. Their online shop doesn't list inks, but the catalog does.

The Maruzen Athena ink that was sold to me as "Orange" is almost certainly Sepia. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yep, セピア sounds like "sepiya" which is how they render "sepia in Japanese. セ "se" as in "Seth" ・ピ "pi" as in "pin" and ヤ "ya" as in "maYA".
