Now that I have a bottle of this lovely ink, I'm curious to know if you have noticed that the color lightens over time? I've seen it happen on several papers and I love to see the different tones of green start to appear. Cicadas constantly shed their skins, each time emerging lighter, newer.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

It can get a bit lighter, but I haven't noticed too big difference yet.
Diamine China Blue can do such things. That ink has some faces. Vivid blue when wet, pastel when dry and it can get a bit lighter over time too.

I first noticed the change on a business card I had written on and had handled quite a bit. Then I started noticing the lighter green/gold showing up on work documents. Just one more reason to really enjoy this ink!

Beautiful, complex, olive-y color! Thank you for the review, it's out of my range right now but on the 'wish list' for sure.

      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

      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
