In this Currently Inked, I’m pulling out the inks I picked up in my Japan stationery haul and sharing my favorite way to actually use fountain pens day-to-day: keeping a handful of pens inked and ready for whatever I’m journaling, planning, or swatching. This is very much a cozy “what’s in rotation right now” video—less about perfection, more about enjoying analog life with pretty inks and a setup that makes me want to sit down and write. I talk through what I’m reaching for lately, how I think about choosing inks for journaling versus planners, and why a small, intentional ink lineup can make your routine feel easy (and fun). If you love ink swatches, comparisons, and that satisfying feeling of a fresh fill, this one’s for you—especially if you watched the haul and wanted to see how those Japan inks actually fit into my real-life journaling system.
