Hunting for Japanese Exclusive Inks: Part 4, Nagoya

After visiting Tokyo, I headed down to Nagoya, where I had a couple of leads on some store-exclusive inks. I quickly found 25 Sailor store exclusive inks in vase bottles at the Penland Cafe, and somehow, left the city with only one bottle.

While in Tokyo, searching online for store exclusive inks, I ran across the Mitasanshodo inks in their gorgeous cut-glass bottles. I was hoping that I'd be able to find them in Tokyo, but they were only available at a Mita-Sanshodo shop about a two hour train ride north of the city (maybe next time), so I ordered two bottles from their Rakuten shop.

As usual, in this video, I swatch the inks and provide some modest writing samples.
