    These bottled fountain pen inks are broadly divided by the base color of the ink, but are also grouped by neighboring colors if they are intermediate, and by their sheen color if they have a strong sheen.

After only buying one ink in Nagoya, I bought two After only buying one ink in Nagoya, I bought two of these gorgeous bottles online. These cut glass bottles are from @mitasanshodo and are reason enough to buy the ink, but the ink is equally good: wonderfully fragrant and silky smooth to write with... and the Sumi ink has amazing bronze/gold sheen! I just posted a YouTube video about these, if you want more details. #mitasanshodo #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #ink #inkreview #cutglass #fountainpenaddict #japaneseink #lilac

Maybe the most awesome sheening ink I've ever seen Maybe the most awesome sheening ink I've ever seen: green sheen AND purple sheen, at the same time! This bottle is "Indigo Blue", a Sailor ink sold exclusively at #shosaikan in Tokyo. Pretty amazing. I posted a video about this ink today on YouTube 🙂 #sailorink #sailorpen #ink #inkthusiast #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #shosaikan @shosaikan_aoyama_official shosaikan_aoyama_official
And this one is from the #itoya in Ginza. This is And this one is from the #itoya in Ginza. This is in the "Edo Mouse" series of inks, and it called "Mouse Red". I've been told that the "Mouse" designation refers to dull or earthy-toned colors, dating from a period in history when commoners were not allowed to wear bright colors. This one has some good strong shading, and the color is a nice brown burgundy. #itoyaginza #tokyoinklings #itoya #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #tagstationery #inkinkink
This is an exclusive ink at the #ginzasix #tsutaya This is an exclusive ink at the #ginzasix #tsutayabookstore in Tokyo... I recently published a video on YouTube about this day of hunting for exclusive inks! I also found them at Maruzen and Itoya, of course 🙂https://youtu.be/emZ5FAQ9Otc #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #fountainpeninkaddict #japaneseink #inkunuma #inkuma
It took me almost a year to get Sulekha's Firingi It took me almost a year to get Sulekha's Firingi Kali ink set after I discovered it, but it's pretty cool. Of course, I got it more for the novelty than the inks, but the inks are not bad at all. More info about them in the YouTube video that I posted this afternoon. #sulekha #sulekhaink #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink#fountainpeninkreview#inkreview #kali #indianink
My first Sailor vase bottle! I've been in Tokyo fo My first Sailor vase bottle! I've been in Tokyo for 10 days, and I've purchased 17 bottles of ink, so I'm sure you'll all agree that I'm displaying a remarkable amount of restraint and self control. Today I visited Shosai-kan in Shibuya (?), and it's one of the most gorgeous shops that I've seen yet... and lo and behold, there were TWO bottles of ink in the old style Sailor vases. I may have taken the last one in the blue color, and I almost took both. I wish I had.... but I had already bought 6 bottles today. I'll go back for it tomorrow morning. They have a couple of exclusive TAG inks and I got one of them, too. Anyway, the people working there were wonderful, with enough English to get the job done and very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended! #shosaikan #tokyoink #tokyofountainpen #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpeninkaddict #japaneseink #fountainpens #sailorink #exclusiveink
My first day in Japan! Of course I stopped by @kin My first day in Japan! Of course I stopped by @kingdomnote_pen Note in Shinjuku and bought a few inks. They were very helpful (I don't speak any Japanese, yet). These Kingdom Note exclusive inks are from one of four or five different biological series inks... I'm going to be returning to the shop at lease once more before I go home. #kingdomnote #tokyoink #sailorink #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks
