Sailor Kobe #17 Shioya Blue

[saskia_madding]

Another shout out to cool-japan on ebay who sells these Kobe inks by Sailor for a super reasonable price.

 

I have a lot of blues, and I tend to prefer darker, richer blues. Still, there's a lot to be said for this ink.

It's a solid, reliable, midway blue - not too dark, not too light - with really nice shading ...

... and a pretty sheen.
