I am now replacing every word with "Iroshizuku". You're looking very Iroshizuku today! Iroshizuku to you too!

Thanks... however, I myself do see on screen ... and also to a lesser extent on my own paper... a slight tick of green, which isn't bad at all.

It's always nice to see new reviews. Thank you for sharing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I, too, see hints of green, which is more pronounced when using ivory paper, and in florescent lighting.

On plain white paper and working in daylight I think it is the nicest shade of blue ink there is, I

Love it, it's my Happy Ink:)

Thanks for the review. A little light for my tastes, but definitely a nice ink. I love most of the Iroshizuku line.

I’m pleasantly surprised by this ink. Lubrication seems to be better than with some other iroshizuku inks while flow is comparable. The ink sheens easily and offers interesting, subtle shading. I like its colour very much: easy to read yet quite light, turning into a beautiful kind of blue when saturation increases. Very nice. Its drawbacks are the same as the iroshizuku inks: rather pricey and more prone to feathering than similar inks from other brands.

This ink is a "happy" ink. It always works, it isn't fussy and no one looks at you strange (like they do when you use purple glitter ink). Thank you for reminding me.

It is one of my favorite ink. The color becomes very vivid and bright in a wet Pelikan. This one and Kon-Peki are my go-to blues.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
