This one was tempting me since I first saw it somewhere on-line. Thank you for this review. Can I ask you to make a close up of shading?

 

Sure. Here you go. It's actually a slightly better shader than it appears in this picture. This pen is VERY wet, and I'd just filled it, so the feed was over-saturated.

In my view it is a bit to dark for Olive....

Check my review A Olive green tribute to Visamitra, Whitman and Zweig...
I believe that comes closer to olive green (I am inn Italy tomorrow see if I can Make a photo...

But That Kitano colour is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thanks for your review

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Was this available through cool-japan? I didn't find it listed there. Just curious. Have other expenses to take care of before I can order more Kobe inks, but this one definitely is very interesting.

That's where I got it, but the listing disappeared soon after I bought it, so I guess he ran out. I'm sure more will be up soon.

Good looking review!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Does Kobe 49 have any sheen? Specifically, a golden one?

 

Thanks!

 

I no longer have that page, and right now don't have this ink in a pen, but...I don't remember any sheen, but that isn't to say other's may not have found any with the right pen and right paper.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
