A full review of Sou-boku and Sei-boku is available on our ink review information pages.
Lovely ink, great shading, but new style bottle!
Great ink – very easy flow with lovely shading. Once it’s down and dry, which happens reasonably quickly, it stays put.
The only downside is that it comes in the new, rectangular bottle rather than the lovely old style with the internal reservoir! It’s much less convenient to fill your pen now.

Availability
If an item is in stock, the words "In stock" will be shown. If an item is out of stock, the approximate number of days before we get another delivery will be shown instead. You may still be able to order the item, but there will be a delay before we can dispatch your item(s). If the words "Please enquire" are shown, it's best to check with us first before ordering.
Nib choices for fountain pens
If we show the pen with the default nib selection shown in stock it means we have stock of that pen. If you select another nib size and the website doesn't say "in stock" we can usually supply that pen immediately as we keep extensive supplies of nibs from all our manufacturers.
Lovely ink, very smooth
Really smooth, well-flowing ink in the fine, medium, and broad nibs I use to write. Lovely shading and dries more quickly than expected.
Colour is a little less blue on paper than it appears on my screen, but that could just be the colour settings on my monitor. An attractive ink that's good for nearly everything
Only downside: they did away with the lovely old bottle and its neat built-in filling reservoir. The new bottles aren't as convenient for filling your pen.
