It's quite a nice dark yellow green. I think many muddy-green lovers would like this one too.

Writing sample

 

Nice shading. However I'm disappointed with the water resistance. Water obliterates it. I expected a better water resistance from it, like Tokiwa-matsu, which leaves enough blue trace to be legible.

Comparison

 

Kitano compared with Montblanc Daniel Defoe, Sailor Tokiwa-matsu, R&K Alt-goldgrün and Sailor Miruai.

I think Kitano is greener than Defoe. Tokiwa-matsu is more yellow than those two (maybe with a tint of blue?). Alt-goldgrün is much lighter and yellower.

I struggled to correct the colour distorted by my crazy scanner. To try to show the colours more faithfully, I took a photo of the comparison as well:

This is one of my favourite Kobe inks, nearly as nice as #14. Not one of their big sheen inks, but has a subtle gold shimmer that gives it individual personality. It looks especially beautiful in a wet-writing vintage Onoto, on cream handmade paper. So nice that I bought 3 bottles & sent samples out to at least 8 people - enabler that I am :-)

Yes, dear Lgsoltek, Daniel Defoe is a special colour: right between Kitano and Tokiwa-Matsu! ... I fear that there will be no substitute...

Love the ghostie!

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

      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
