That is one incredible reddish ink! I love the shading qualities.

Most importantly, your handwriting is just beautiful! :clap1:

That is a beautiful ink (and beautiful handwriting, too)! If it were not a limited edition, I would immediately buy some. But I refuse to buy an ink that I will love but will definitely not be able to replace when it runs out.

I've been on a quest to see if I could commit all Seven Deadly Sins in a single day. Finally, it dawned on me I shouldn't try for the One Day Wonder Prize for all seven in one day. It's simply out of any question as you can't commit decent sloth while busily ticking the other six off your crowded "to do" list. -- ViolinWriter

This is strange, because in this other review, there was a shimmer to the inks. Any idea why they did not appear here?

Perhaps you did not shake the bottle before you filled the pen?

Beautiful ink! Any chance of a comparison scan with Iroshizuku Momiji? they look similar (Momiji seems more pink) - and if they're too similar, I may not be able to justify buying both! ;)

Too many pens; too little writing.

This is what the ink looks like when it is straight in front of you. The picture I took of that lovely shimmer effect was with the paper slightly tilted and in direct sunlight. The shimmer is very delicate and not immediately noticed...that is what makes it so beautiful. It is not a bright "in your face," really obvious shimmer effect.

The search for the perfect blue ink is a delicious and endless quest...

Where can I get that ink. Is this the same ink that John Mottishaw has for sale on his website? Brian Goulet doesn't carry it.

He came down from heaven and was made man.

      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
