I'm not sure this one will have many fans. And I'm not sure how often I'll use it. But it's not without its charm.

A nice blue. Reminds me of "Motherwell Blue" a color from Gauloises cigarette cartons Robert Motherwell used in his paintings and collages.

While I have enjoyed pastelly inks and own a few, I must say this colour does nothing for me.

 

Thank you for yet another excellent review, though!

Thank you for the review. I have the other Ishida Bungu inks and they are excellent. I'm sure this ink has excellent handling qualities like all other Sailor inks. However, it's not a color that appeals to me, and even so, I'm sure I could find a perfectly decent handling ink in a similar shade from any number of ink makers, and the price would be far less than what I would pay for an ink from a shop in the far north of Japan.

While not a fan, I must confess that it doesn't seem so offensive, now. I see what you mean about the "vintage vibe" (noted on Instagram), it's rather pleasant.

 

Though I won't use such an ink, I would love to receive a letter written in it.

Done! I need to send you my new address anyway, so keep an eye out. :)

I know. It threw me too.

 

Something about it seems light in tone but not too bright. I must stop looking or else I'll start trying to dilute China Blue or something to quell my desire.

      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
