An Extraordinary Japanese Blue
There are TONS of Japanese blue fountain pen inks to choose from, which is saying nothing about the lovely offerings from Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere. But this one, Nagasawa Kobe Kaikyo Blue, is special. It's very concentrated, shades ever so slightly with heavier nibs, and it has a reddish tint when applied thick. It's very well behaved in fountain pens, including fine nibs, and it doesn't smudge once it's dry. It's wonderful for drawing, and responds beautifully to a water brush pulling pigments out for shading. Highly recommend, even if you weren't a fan of other Kobe inks you might have tried. This one is special.
P.S. If you DO like this one, try Kobe Nagata Blue, which is grayer and behaves like a more luxurious version of Sailor Blue Black. If you want a more midnight blue ink that behaves similarly to Kaikyo Blue, try Sailor Shikiori Yonaga or Taccia Koiai Blue. Both of those smudge a bit on certain papers, though. If you've been writing with Diamine Oxford Blue, Denim Blue, or Midnight, Kaikyo Blue will be a wonderful step further up and further in.

Love this item
I found this notebook in a quaint little Japanese shop on a road trip. I went through it quickly, and since then have only found it online, even after returning to the shop. I love this little notebook and will continue to buy after I finish them.

Wonderful Vanishing Point Pen!! Worth It!
Have always wanted to own a Vanishing Point Pilot Pen that was associated with Taiwan's anniversary and I finally was able to purchase one (always sold out previously). So beautiful and writes so smoothly! Would not expect anything less from Pilot. Worth the wait and cost, and always excited to use this pen when journaling because of how it writes.

Move Over, Plotter!
This is soooooo much nicer than my Plotter binder. The leather is luxuriously soft, and the binder itself closes flat without any spring-back. I’m converted. Raymay forever!

A little slow to arrive but it’s worth it to support a business I like. First platinum pen and it writes like a DREAM.
