    Sailor — Maruzen Akane

Akane is a store exclusive for Maruzen pen store in Tokyo. It is a beautiful, super well-behaved red ink. Akane is a dead ringer for the expensive but more available Rouge Hematite. If you avoid the gold glitter in RH (don't shake the bottle), they are practically identical. They sheen the same green-gold. They both smear. They are both hard to clean out of a pen. For my money, I'll take Rouge Hematite because the glitter doesn't show in my daily carry pen and I can use it to effect with calligraphy. Care was taken to ensure color accuracy. This one is pretty much as you see it on a properly calibrated screen.
