Nice review. I have a few of those ink, but have not tried them yet! Will soon!

 

By the way, what pen did you use for this? There seems to be a nice flex!

For sale: nothing!

Looking for: money!

To Buy: Visconti Titanium Skeleton, Omas Ogiva Demo (HT Piston filler), Stipula Etruria nuda, other demos :P

You're welcome! I used a Pilot Falcon (FA) Nib from the Custom 742. What colours did you get?

Thanks!

 

I have tsuki-yo and tsuyu-kusa.

 

In my next pen\ink switch, I'll add one of these to the current inks.

Thanks much for the review. This blue looks very lovely on my monitor! Nice to see this color from a fine nib.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Please use only my FPN name "Gran" in your posts. Thanks very much!

I've only just come across this review and was wondering how does it compare to Diamine Sapphire blue - from the looks of your review they appear similar (to me at least)

Lots of wants, limited funds!

I don't have any first hand experience of Japanese inks but this is a really lovely shade that I would seriously consider using in the future. Thanks for the review.

I don't know if you speak from your own experience, but I have both and I don't think they look alike. If I have time, I'll post a comparison pic tonight.

      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
