So far I've asked for some Iroshizuku and a Pilot CH 912. Any other pens, paper, ink, or ephemera I should check out? The Japanese pens in my collection are a couple of Nakayas, a more or less comprehensive set of demonstrators, and a Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black.

Definitely Graphilo writing paper and/or notebooks.

What about Sailor Kingdom Note inks/pens? As far as I know, Kingdom Note doesn't ship internationally, so the only way to get something from them is to use a proxy – or a friend.

You can also take a look at Euro Box (http://euro-box.com/index.html). The pens come and go all the time there, so even if you don't see anything you fancy at this exact moment, you might want to check it occassionally.
If you want to learn more about Eizo Fujii, the man who is Euro Box, check this video (https://youtube.com/watch?v=9RCtY099OKc).
