Here's a review card for Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku. This is a personal favorite of mine. (click to sharpen and enlarge the photo)

This is the review card that accompanies a comparison between Ku-Jaku and a possible alternative mixed from Noodler's Turquoise and Eel Blue. If you want to view the comparison click here: Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku vs. Noodler's Turquoise/Eel Blue mix?

I love the color, and it looks especially great in broad nibs.

Thanks for a wonderful review.

Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Nice color! However is quite expensive. If it were my favourite color, I would pick up the mix replica, which is almost the same color. Maybe diferent in behavour.

Thank you for the review. This is probably my favorite ink as well. I almost always have a pen inked with this color. There's just something special about the Iroshizuku inks. Thanks for providing a substitute. I'll have to try that.

I enjoyed the review. Thank you. Certainly a great shade of blue that shows some nice variation.

 

By the way, what is the black ink on the card? That feathered so badly, that I'm curious what ink it is.

      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

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
