I think it's pretty. I'd have to see how light it was on the page to see if it was legible, though, and also maybe compare it to something like De Atramentis Apple Blossom.

It's strange that this ink is the most popular one among all 8 in China. It's the one that sells out the fastest. Maybe my taste is not typically east-asian...

 

It must be related to the same thing that makes "Hello Kitty" so popular there.

 

And great review! I agree it is meh! And definitely not my color.

Eh, I really dislike this color. Although it's not as bad as most people describe. I just don't think the majority of us like these pastel colors, imo they just seem like very washed out colors to me.

Well, I though - and in a sort hoped - that especially this pink would be nice, but I became somewhat sceptical after this thorough review. But now I have to ask you: Where do I find a nice and fresh and light pink?

Another one from the old Four Seasons re-release.

Coming back to your Sakura-Mori-review, Lgsoltek, I would like to ask you: Which green ink did you use? I is it vert empire? I am still undecided in regard to this colour but I like your green ink. Or is it just because of the contrast to the pink? Or even the product of a 2-ink-combination?

I'm afraid I can't tell anymore. I checked my ink journal of that time but nothing comes close to it. One thing I'm sure of is that it's NOT Vert empire, which I don't have.

I might buy a bottle of this at some point for painting. That color is the perfect color of the inside of a cherry blossom.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

I usually dislike pink inks but I really enjoy this one's paleness and shading. In a fine or medium nib it can look quite special but will be far too pale for some.

      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
