Saskia- GREAT comparison and I like the new signature.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thank you Saskia! It looks like Dandyism may be just a hair closer to MBRG, but I will be more than happy to have both!

I have many Sailor inks, but retain a soft spot for the Kobes. So here is the cover of my new ink journal....

pen-land cafe Aichi prefecture... kind of far from Tokyo but I want to verify if the inks there is a sailor custom blend or someone blends them in house I'm thinking of the latter but I'll dig the net around

I cant find any samples that can be conclusive of the ink color but pen-land cafe's blog will be helpful

I look into rakuten I don't think even cool-Japan could get one... but if there's a rakuten probably it can be done

sorry shallow searching has led me inconclusive

all I know it's a cafe (you know like starbucks) that sells pens and food ideally a hangout place...

but posted from the cafe's website

移り喜 Utsurigi - Caprcious? fickleness? it's a deep word but basically put inconsistent would be the closest translation

could be a black brown no definite sample for me to get

レッドクリフ赤壁 Red Cliff Sekiheki (seems to be derived from Battle of Chibi)

青泉 -Aosen?- Fountain Blue

Update on ink shipping difficulties.

 

Update.

 

The ink I sent to Singapore has finally reached its destination. I could not send it by mail nor FedEx from Japan but was able to send it to the US and then have it transhipped on to Singapore.

 

The ink I am to get in trade also could not be mailed out of Singapore so was brought to the US by a visiting family member of my trading friend in Singapore. Hopefully, it will be on its way to me soon. Took a month or two, but got the ink to Singapore!

 

Also, just yesterday I sent a bottle of ink to the Pilippines. The same PO that last gave me a difficult time had me fill out an invoice that I have never seen before and accepted it with no problem after confirming that it was just pen ink that was being sent.

 

I have run into rule changes before. Sometimes even found one PO that does things differently that others. But I have never had completely different experiences trying to do the same thing at the same post office before.

 

Wonder if it was due to Christmas?

I have gotten a couple of shipments of ink from cool-japan and hobby-japan recently without any delay.

Same here. I got a cool-japan package that took about 5 days to get here from Japan.

Friday I received Sapphire, Omaeika Sunset, Ink of Witch, and Dandyism direct from Bung Box in Japan. Nice birthday present!
