NEW INK DAY! 3 New Pilot Iroshizuku Inks!

[@Tia-p5f]

I really like Syun-gyo.

[@norcaligirl8888]

Thank you so much for comparing these inks to the current and past Pilot ink colors. I had wondered how close Syun-gyo was to Tsukushi. Now I want to add Yama-Guri to my ink collection! I have Syun-gyo and I can’t wait to get it into a pen too. I do like that it is a dark purple with that green sheen. It will be fun in an M or B nib. Happy New Year! 🎉

[@inksplat]

You're welcome! I figured if I wanted to know, someone else probably wanted to know. haha :) I think Syun-gyo is going to be pretty popular! Yama-Guri is my favorite dark brown!! I love it a ton! thanks for watching :) Happy New Year!

[@cerealnana]

Damn! I need that purple-brown.

[@inksplat]

it's really good!

[@Sonicman415]

So fun! I want the blue and possibly the brown/burgundy. Yay. I had to pick up an extra bottle of tsutsuji.. sad to see it go.

[@MissMarilynDarling]

I really like that yellow if the hobonichi sucks this year I'm gonna walk down get me a archer and olive and a sample of that yellow ink and some tsutsuji while they have some

[@ramonafirehorse]

Still my fave ink brand, AND I still haven’t forgiven them for Ina Ho.

[@TheChockychops]

I only have two full bottles of irishozuki inks - ku jaku and tsuki yo. I really didn't think I'd be interested in the new blue, but it's obvs right in my wheelhouse!! Rikka reminds me a bit of Waterman's mysterious blue (at least the old formula) as it has that slightest hint of green.

[@inksplat]

it sounds like it's right in your wheelhouse! if you get some to try it out, i hope you like it! :D

[@angelaking9619]

Definitely a fan of Toro and Syun-gyo. Rikka looks nice - it's just that it's another blue! Agree it would have been better to keep one of the discontinued ones... Kiri-same or Ina-ho imo. Perhaps it's based on sales though?

[@Tia-p5f]

The two brown inks they discontinued were very popular. I also don't understand why there is so many blues in this line of inks.

[@roxiesossa3210]

Hey lady! Yeah I'm with ya - I like the yellow. It's happy and a good addition to the line. The brown/maroon is intriguing but the blue I'm just meh about because they already have a shit-ton in the line. So confused why they'd take away such wildly popular ones - especially Tsutsuji! 😧

[@amyelr]

I love all of them upon swatching, but agree it stinks to get rid of the three they did and add another blue. Kosumosu was one of my first ink loves so I picked up a backup bottle. I am looking forward to writing with these though! Syun-gyo is especially pretty, I think.

[@bootsmama1027]

To Ro reminds me of Dominant Industry’s Citrus Yellow. I don’t think Syun Gyo is close to anything they have so far. I like Syun Gyo and I hope to get the other two soon.

[@inksplat]

I don't think i tried that dominant industry ink yet! syun-gyo is amazing. I think it's going to be pretty popular (just judging by the comments here. haha)

[@bootsmama1027]

@ I love it! I only had enough money for 1, and Syun Gyo was the one I grabbed. It is also out of stock at some of the online retailers, so I think you are correct; everyone wants it.

[@ZPD-doo-DAH]

How did you come up with Pearl's name? Is she named after someone?

[@inksplat]

I’m also a knitter and a quilter, so she’s named after the Purl stitch 😂 her brother Patches was white with tabby patches so we called him Patches. They both have nerdy crafty names 😂

[@ZPD-doo-DAH]

@@inksplat Oh, "PURL" You could have spelled it, "Purrl" 😅 I love how she supervises and inspects your desk when you film. She's a great production assistant!

[@bjones3622]

The yellow reminds me a lot of Yu Yake? Are they similiar or is that just me? Edit: She says before watching the part where you compare the Yellow inks. Should have known that I guess, LOL. 🤣

[@inksplat]

patience, grasshopper! hehe but nope! not really anything alike!

[@MissMarilynDarling]

I tried every spelling I could and could not get google translate to come up with the same meaning I kept getting seasonal fish lol

[@inksplat]

I used teh descriptions from Vanness' website

[@MissMarilynDarling]

@@inksplat I see everyone has the same translation interesting

[@varadharajannadarajah]

👌🏻👍🏻

[@MissMarilynDarling]

I am bloody mad I bought the hobonichi cousin and I tried to do a swatch in the back and EVERYTHING BLED THROUGH even some of my rollerball and gel pens I'm so mad right now what a waiste if it isnt good by the first week I'm gonna throw it in the pile of journals that suck and walk down to my local stationary shop and buy an Archer ande Olive notebook.. we will see

[@HistoricGentleman]

Contact the retailer you purchased it from and demand a refund as the product was guaranteed by hobonichi to handle fountain pen usage and they were made aware of the problem..if folks don’t push the issue and just accept the subpar quality product there will be zero impetus for hobonichi to address further issues that may arise

[@Heidejournal]

Too many blues for sure… I like syun-gyo, but I don‘t care for the sheen… and yellow inks are not my thing, so I probably won‘t get any of them.

[@inksplat]

Understandable! Yeah I really Don’t understand the thought behind all the blues. 😂 I know it’s a popular ink color but still
