Sailor Nagasawa - Kobe 52 Inks

[inkstainedruth]

I see that so far the top three highest vote getters (Maya Lapis, Kano Cho/Midnight, and Shioya Vintage Sepia) are all inks I picked (although I voted for some other ones as well, including Ooji Cherry)....

This was a huge amount of work -- thanks for doing this. And not. Some of the ones I hadn't seen reviews of yet are now on the short list of inks I want....

I think #51 has a lot of votes mainly because we have to choose between #51 or #52 in order to submit the vote...

@Lgsoltek - I believe you're right

That could be a factor - but it's my favourite regardless :-)

The notion that it might be the "best line ... ever" does not seem unreasonable. However, I am not finding them very much available at this point, just a few colors. Hopefully that is a temporary thing.

Picking this up - Japanese Rakuten says only one bottle per color; global Rakuten lists only a couple of colors. I'm just hoping it's a temporary restriction over the gifting season.

 

If anyone knows more, I'd appreciate any info.

I've only tried Minatogawa Lime and I'm in love with it... but GOSH. This thread is just making me ink-envious. I want to try all of these right now!

 

Most curious about the Apricot and Taisanji Yellow.

 

This thread is epic though. Wow. THANK YOU.

[visvamitra]

You're welcome. Yes, they're really difficult to get at the moment.

You can always ask Atsu (cool-Japan on eBay) to get you the colour you prefer.

 

Price increase is also coming up after New Year. May affect the availability.

Well, I've send him an email week ago but he hasn't answered so far :/

[annakat]

I tried a couple of weeks ago and he said they were all out!

[migo984]

In November Atsu told me they are expecting stocks at the end of this month.

[visvamitra]

Good to know

[Algester]

will the set be updated to reflect 53-54 heading out soon enough?

[visvamitra]

If some good soul will send me samples, yes. But I'm not planning to buy this two colors

[mehandiratta]

STUPENDOUS...

HATS OFF TO YOU

[amberleadavis]

BTW, Vis, did you mean AmberleaJAMES or AmberleaDAVIS?

[visvamitra]

Oops. I meant you. Of that I'm sure

[amberleadavis]

Oops. I meant you. Of that I'm sure

 

Then, thank you for the shout out!

[penultress]

Thank you so much for all this work! This is such a great reference!

 

The colors are all beautiful but I only have Lime Green and Island Blue, both of which I love. Midnight Blue is calling out to me, as well as Sumiyoshi Brown.
