This is a dusty blue-green. I like the darker colour of the shading but not the lighter colour of the non-shading part. It's a nice sheener.

Writing sample

The ink changes colour as you write. It flows onto the page as blue but quickly dries to a greener tone. Similar to Ku-jaku but more drastic.

Comparison

The letters are all in Syo-ro. Only the swabs are for comparison.

Ku-jaku, Syo-ro and Shin-ryoku are like three Iro brothers. Ku-jaku is bluer, Shin-ryoku is green, and Syo-ro is in the middle.

Yama-dori and Ku-jaku are very alike. Yama-dori looks like a "stronger" and richer colour.

Not a fan of this colour, too muted and washed out for me, but am a fan of this review.

 

Like the style of your reviews Lgsoltek, please keep giving us good stuff like this.

I have this as my go-to ink in a Pilot Capless, and it's not washed out or dusty at all; possibly it pays to have it in a wetter pen? I like it very much, especially the way it changes colour as it dries.

 

Cheers, Al

VERY NICE!! Thank you for the ghost!!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I have this ink, and it's an insane sheener for me with the red tones. Plus, the primary color is even darker than first picture on the right. It's far darker for me than Yama-dori, almost a teal-black.

 

Depending on the pen I use it in, it can be very disconcerting to have this assertive teal-black with deep red "halos" around every character I write. I wish I didn't have a lingering tremor, still, while coming down from Graves Disease, post-op, so that I could take a picture to demonstrate what I mean.

 

The color and sheening is so different for me that I wonder sometimes if I have the same ink everyone else does. It's that dramatically different from every other photo I see of it online.

Good review.

It's one of the first inks that I purchased when I got into fountain pens about a year ago, it's still a favourite.

 

Cheers,

Not a color for me. But thanks for the review.

Great review thanks. I have this ink but don't really like it. I find it looks "sickly" on the page. Not one I'd ever buy again.

Same here. In the pens I've used it in, it's so dark that it's almost a teal-black, with a very decided red sheen to it.

      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
