I love this show!
The podcasters discuss Japanese fountain (and dip) pens, inks, and paper, sometimes also discussing Korean ink and The occasional Chinese pen and ink. The podcasters know that many of their listeners are not in Asia, and often offer information about where to purchase some of the items they discuss—and they also often share information about which sellers and makers speak English. Shoutout too to Alsea’s YouTube channel, and Jacob’s blog for some beautiful and relaxing eye-candy to complement Tokyo Inklings audio content. It’s not all just about buying—it’s a great ‘stationery appreciation’ course with no exams or papers to write. It *has* made me want to study Japanese.

Update 2023: Great content but host CY, more often than not, has really bad audio. Sometimes so much that I skip an episode.
