Sailor Kobe #35 - Suwayama Leaf Green

[saskia_madding]

Another Kobe ink I got from cool-japan on ebay. $20 and free shipping ... who can say no? NOT ME.

This is a gorgeous, rich green that is super pleasing to my eyes.

It's got fun shading on rhodia paper ...

... though it can tend to look a bit washed out on some paper.

Generally I think it looks pretty great.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well behaved, rich green, perhaps this is the ink for you?

This one's a bit like Diamine Sherwood Green. Great review as usual!

[WOBentley]

Great review, and I love the color!

Like! thanks for the review.

This one is definitely on my Kobe short list.

[Laura N]

Great review, thank you.

 

I have six Kobe inks, myself, and love the colors. Mine also are really well-behaved and clean up easily.

looks like an intense and vivid green, looks close to MB Irish green. Thanks for sharing
