BUNGUBOX Ink tells more — 30ml

Ink tells more is the house ink range of BUNGUBOX, the fountain pen shop in Tokyo’s Jimbocho book district. Each colour is made for BUNGUBOX by Sailor and named for a story — a novel, a place, a feeling. Most are dye-based; the range also includes two iron gall inks and two pigment inks. All come in BUNGUBOX’s heel-shaped 30ml bottle, which tilts in its box so you can fill a pen down to the last few millilitres.

Ink with a story attached

BUNGUBOX was founded in 2012 in Hamamatsu by Kaoru Yamagishi and now has its shop in Jimbocho, Tokyo’s book district — a small store with two writing desks where you can try every ink and pen before you buy. Its motto, printed on its bottles and engraved on its nibs, is “Ink tells more”. The names are not decoration: 4B stands for BUNGUBOX Blue Black, the shop’s signature dark, muted blue; Nostalgia is the sepia of old photographs; The Ink of Witch writes purple and dries to a rich purple-black. Every bottle is a small piece of Jimbocho.

Why the heel-shaped bottle

The bottle is shaped like the heel of a shoe. When the ink runs low, stand it in its box and tip the box onto its side: the bottle leans at an angle that pools the last of the ink where your nib can reach it.

Honest Note:

These are premium inks in small bottles — 30ml, not 50ml. The four special inks need different care from the dye colours. Iron gall inks (Calvados, Blue Marine) darken as they dry and become more permanent, but they can corrode steel over time and should not be left sitting in a pen for weeks; flush every couple of weeks and avoid vintage pens. Pigment inks (Eternal Sunset, Eternal Music) need regular flushing, like any pigment ink. If you want one ink to fill and forget, choose a dye colour. Do not tip the box while the bottle is full — it will spill.

Who is it For?

• Fountain pen enthusiasts collecting inks with genuine character and provenance
• Anyone who has visited — or wants to visit — Jimbocho and wants a piece of it at home
• Writers and journallers who choose ink colour as deliberately as words
• Owners of BUNGUBOX pens who want the matching ink (First Love, Something Blue and others share names with inks)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Who makes BUNGUBOX ink?

Sailor, one of Japan’s oldest pen makers, produces the inks to BUNGUBOX’s colour specifications.

Which colours are waterproof?

The dye colours are not. The iron gall inks (Calvados, Blue Marine) and pigment inks (Eternal Sunset, Eternal Music) are more water-resistant once dry.

How do I use the bottle box?

When the ink is low, put the bottle in the box, close it, and lay the box on its side with the opening up. The bottle tilts so your nib reaches the ink. Never do this with a full bottle.
