Oooooo! I like this one! The sheen is very attractive! And the color fits the flower very well! Back in high school, they used to sell carnations for Valentine's Day, so I've always associated red with this flower.

This is a very odd color, but there's something about it that keeps making me look at it. The dry times are not too bad. And the sheen is a nice bonus.

Thanks for posting the review. [For some reason, the response I wrote earlier never uploaded.]

I like this a lot, and unlike you, I'm rather drawn to it; either this or Iris is my favourite in the collection, going by your reviews. (This from someone whose favourite inks include Rouille d'Ancre.)

It is interesting isn't it? I have been using it a LOT to try and make friends with the colour. I am really growing to like it a lot. It is a cross between a peach and the Pilot iroshizuku Kusomosu. The sheen is a super-bonus I would not have expected with such a light ink.

I agree. I am glad you are enjoying the reviews; I always value your comments.

Hello, I am really valuing your comments, thank you. You know, I am going to eat my words about this review. I am really enjoying this ink now that the initial shock has worn off- for a start just look at that sheen! Yes I love Iris too, that shading is breath-taking on pretty much all of them. The whole set is so interactive with shading and sheen it has been a joy to review.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
