One of the 5 Kyonooto inks. I shall leave the presentation of these inks to someone else.

Yamabukiiro is a yellow ink with a hint of green. It's not too light to be illegible. It's gorgeous. A winner. My favourite among these. When it's wet enough, there'll be a lovely dark edge.

 

Box

Nice packaging. But the colour on the box is miles away from what it really is. If it were the colour on the box I wouldn't like it.

Splash

(photo, scan. The scan is closer to what I see.)

Sample

It flows well. It's a wet ink, but it doesn't feel lubricating as Sailor inks.

Sheen?

Only when it's wet enough and on Tomoe River can you see a faint sheen. Don't expect to see it in normal writing.

Look at that shading, that dark edge... I'm in love...

I made a murky, yellow-green ink a while back:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/303074-alt-murgrun-old-murky-green/?p=3545289

 

Then I remembered that I had a bottle of Yamabuki-iro. When I put them side-by-side they were practically identical. I'm not really that keen on either, but somehow keep using them :-)

as my research goes easily obtained from Rakuten I have posted about these inks a long time ago... Kyoto Bungu TAG inks would be the key word

 

Thank you.

Thanks for the review. I ordered this sight unseen (mostly because I love my yellow-greens) and your review did not disappoint! I am loving Kokeiro, and I'm glad to see Aonibi and Higashiyama look gorgeous as well. I really like these inks!

Thank you for reviewing all of these inks! I haven't been able to try them yet because I went a little nuts getting all of the Sailors I wanted so I've had to put a hold on new ink purchases and started to part with other inks my collection to pay off my inky debts :/

 

Like you, this looks like it would be my favorite out of the series, so when funds permit (probably closer to the holidays :) ) I will be on the lookout for a bottle of this one!

Very nice review. While I am not fond of the color, it is an interestingly complex color.

      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
