I don't know. All I know is that it is no longer on their website.

Thanks for the info showing which colors are out of stock. So is Sweet Potato Purple gone for good?

 

I'd e-mail Bungbox directly to ask.

I am weakest at Writing Japanese. My spoken Japanese is better and so is my reading ability. I plan to call them when I can make the time.

It's a seasonal ink and will likely be back next September.

[Sinistral1]

That's good to hear!

[saskia_madding]

A lot of inks are seasonal. June Bride come around at the end of May + June. Melancholy Gray is an April/May thing. Sweet Potato Purple/Yellow is September. Mother Pink comes out Mother's day. Starry night comes out at Christmas. That sort of thing.

There's also Sweet Love Pink and Valentine Chocolate (I think that's the name) in February.

For the inks from Bung Box that have to be purchased in 12 packs, are there any others in the US interested in a group buy?

[Algester]

I wonder is there a white day ink from bungbox I would assume they would also have holiday inks other than the seasonal ink hence my post saying how they should be segregated but ok... If I think of seasonal ink at the very least thats about 4 inks already at the very least

I have never noticed a White Day ink, but that's an intriguing thought. I actually don't even know what the boys give back on White Day—it's not just chocolate again, is it?

I have been hunting for the web site to order some Kobe inks, and can't come up with it. Any suggestions? I want to order directly from the company/store that sells them, not go through cooljapan on eBay.

[lgreen]

and I may be only person who thinks this - but I wish the Kobe inks had the plastic funnels in them

 

no you are not only one! I think the sailor funnels a great device (assuming you have sailor pens or others which feed very close to the tip of nib)

[Tinjapan]

At least one of my Sailor pens won't fill withthe funnel inside. I took it out.

Ah! Thanks for that. I was reluctant to answer because I knew that there was more info on this but couldn't remember what.

i'm not sure how it's practiced outside japan but normally white involves marshmallows but sometimes it can be very subjective

I'm not sure that the store sells directly to the USA. In their checkout area, I didn't see a way to choose a North American country. Let me know how it works out for you! I have most of the ones i want for now, but I'm still curious.

[Sinistral1]

I have a friend in Tokyo who will order and ship it to me after it is shipped to him. I haven't started looking yet, but I'm hoping some of their many colors are close to some of the Bung Box and P&M sold out colors.

[saskia_madding]

That would definitely save about $6 USD per bottle, before shipping! Hopefully you'll find something you like. There are a lot of great Kobe colours!

Actually ... the numbers make no sense. I have done enough shipping with friends in Japan. Shipping a box with 5-6 bottles is approx an extra $4-$5 per bottle. So, for Bung Box makes sense... is $20 +5.. $25 approx. For Kobe is $15 + $5... $20, and you can get them at $20/shipping included from Atsou.
