Kyonooto Aonibi

Recommended Posts

One of the 5 Kyonooto inks. I shall leave the presentation of these inks to someone else.
Aonibi is a greyish blue (blue-black?).

Box

Nice packaging.

Splash

(photo, scan. I think the scan comes out wrong. It's more like in the photo.)

Sample

It should not be so purple. It should look somewhat bluer/greener.

Comparison

Only for comparison. I think they all look too purple in the scan.

Sheen?

You may be able to see a faint sheen in writing. In this photo the colour is more or less correct.

Is that *silver* sheen I'm seeing? :huh: You are such a bad influence -- first that magenta one, and now this?

WAAAANT! Must HAAAAAAAAVE!!!

Thanks for the review though. And, well, not.... :headsmack:

When you write you get more of a very faint burgundy halo around the wettest parts.

Pensei, there are only a few sources, as far as I know.

 

I got my bottle by ordering through Rakuten (search for kyo-iro or kyo no oto), but Sakura Fountain Pen Gallery (located in Belgium but with an online presence) also carries this line.

I read in another thread that the store is out of stock now, but they are restocking in mid-June.

yes... they will be restocking in Mid June...

There will be probably new bright blue color also...

Is it a secret where one finds such ink?

You can email the shop directly as well. Their written English is pretty good.

Thanks!

 

Edit: we won't mention that just this morning I was doing some scribbling to convince myself that Shin-kai, Salix, Callifolio Bosphore, Kobe 7, KWZ IG Blue 3, F-C Midnight Blue, and BB4B are different enough that it's not quite madness to have them all. Aonibi has a cool box! :unsure:

The sickness is great in this one!

      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
