Sailor Four Seasons: 8 Inks Compared

[mmg122]

Thanks Migo984 for the link. I just ordered the set and look forward to getting it. Great price!!

I frequently come back and stare at these amazing comparisons in a vain attempt to try and choose between Miurai and Shigure. And maybe Yama-Dori. I already pulled the trigger on Souten, Tokiwa-Massu, and Oku-yama-- mostly because of this thread-- but I can't decide on the last one! (I only have room for one more on my Sailor ink shelf, and I'm a little bit anal about such things).

[AndyYNWA]

Well, it's three quite different colours you're choosing from.

 

I think you'll have to decide which colour you need/want.

Dark blue/purple, dark green or light teal.

 

he sheen will come with any of them.

If you look at the poll results... YAMADORI is the ONE not to miss. Go for it.

I'm really tempted to buy a bottle of Oku-Yama, I love how it sheens and shades. But since I almost only use my pens at work, I don't really see any use for kind of colour. A bit frustrating actually.

But... I bought my wife a Metropolitan, which she seems to like. Maybe I can buy the ink for her, and borrow some now and then....

That sounds like a plan...

[AndyYNWA]

I've been thinking about ordering one or two of these inks, but I can't make up my mind.

It seems like I have to buy them all, they are all really nice in their own ways. Just have to take it step by step, maybe order two bottle per month until I have all of them.

I already have Yama-dori, so I can leave that one out of the equation...

[haruka337]

I had the same issue a few months back--buying the entire line was the only logical solution.

[migo984]

I already had them all but bought another complete set for US$54, including shipping, from Global Rakuten. An inkredible bargain not to be missed, especially as they are sold for around £16 each bottle here in the UK. There isn't one that I dislike - and I'm addicted to that Sailor ink smell :-)

In Sweden they are £10.90/€14.75/$16.60 per bottle including shipping. I think I will buy them here.

Putting up $54.00 at once for some ink feels a bit steep, I also want another pen....

That's a good price too.

Try Tokiwa-Matsu if you haven't got it yet. Wonderful ink.

I will, but maybe not in the first batch. I will probaly go for Oku-Yama and Nioi-Sumire.

[lgsoltek]

I think the autumn and winter ones are more interesting!

Which ones are those?

[lgsoltek]

 

Which ones are those?

 

Yama-dori and Oku-yama for autumn, Shigure and Tokiwa-matsu for winter.

 

Sailor, it's time to bring back the other eight.

Thanks very much for this great review.

 

Your comments regarding the cleaning properties of Do-you in part led me here, i have this irrational paranoia about staining ink windows!

 

I really like dark greens, and Miruai therefore appeals to me. Did you have any problems flushing this ink out of your pens?

I don't remember. Miruai is not my favourite colour so it doesn't get much use from me.
