Kobe (神戸市 Kōbe-shi) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bayand about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto. Its name comes from "kanbe" (神戸), an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. Kobe became one of Japan's 17 designated cities in 1956.

Kobe is famous for its shirines and nioce architecture but among fountain pen and ink afficionados the name Kobe cause increased heart-rate. The city is a home of Nagasawa-Kobe stationery shop that offers incredible lione of more than fifty inks made by Sailor.

My master - plan is to prepare comparison of full line of Nagasawa-Kobe inks. Not an easy task as they're not the most obtainable inks on the market, but hopefully I'll manage to do it :)

At the moment Nagasawa-Kobe offers 52 inks:

Nagisa Museum Blueish Grey is well behaved ink but I'm not really keen on its color.

hmmm complex... not sure if it's similar to Pen and Message's fuyugare... is it?

 

I really love this ink. It writes like silk and is a quite complex grey/blue. Prepare to be shocked........I prefer it to P & M Cigar! :yikes:

 

I also have Fuyugare - my bottle is darker, more monotone and less blue than #46.

Love it. :wub:

However, I can't say I prefer it to Cigar. Apples & Oranges . . . :)

You're quite right. It's not really a valid comparison.

Suffice to say I have multi bottles of #46 (one of the very few inks where I have more than 1 bottle) and use it frequently. My bottles of Cigar don't get used much by me, although my other half enjoys them.

I do like greys.... and this one looks real nice.... I just don't use grey much... :( ... My greens (dark murky), golds, browns and reds are used very often. :D :D

Oh yes - green is definitely the new black :-) I'm rocking my new R & K Ivy Leaf ink, made for Tsutaya.

hmmm now I would to see a comparison with Kiri-same, this and Fuyu-syogun

I can do that, I will tomorrow.

 

I really like this ink. It needs a wide, wet nib in order to breathe.

Tas, I have a bottle of GdP if you want it?

If Tas isn't interested, I would jump at the offer. I love L'A P. Callifolio inks!

 

Vis, another great review! I really appreciate all of the time and effort you put into these. So many of us rely on your expertise! Thank you!

I'm in the UK so it would be too expensive to ship to you I'm afraid. Tas lives locally to me.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
