    Kakimori Karari

    Kakimori is a stationary shop in Tokyo Japan. They have a range of inks and stationery, which epitomizes Japanese minimalism and elegance. They also make personalized handmade inks and notebooks, a specialized dip pen nib and nib holders. Their pigment line comes in beautiful bottles: (Photo: curtsey of Kakimori website) What I’ve noticed in the three inks I reviewed (Kurun, Po and Karari) is: Long dry times, dryish inks, and ease to clean. According to Kakimori website: "Fresh like an endlessly clear sky. Karari describes a bright, cloudless day. With this blue in hand, a break in the clouds is never far away." I really enjoyed using this ink, especially after the disaster with De Atramentis Artist/Document Turquoise/ Cyan. It’s a happy blue, and if you pardon the pun, it takes the blues away. It fills me with joy. Let's start with the chroma: It’s not a perfect ink, it’s wet, low on lubrication, maybe not very pleasant with Ef1F scratcthy nibs. And you might need a blotter, if you write fast and a neatnik I wrote copiously on 68gr Tomoe River Paper with a Safari broad. It was just a delight to write with. Writing samples: Scan on Midori is really off. I had some problems with my fude nib. It wasn't well seated and created huge lines at first. Quite close: Some photos: Tomoe River 68gr Rhodia: This line is written with a broad nib on Hammermill 20 lb paper, not bad at all. Water resistance is quite good: Comparison: You can see the depth of the blue in the sky from a landscape drawing I did on the Dostoyevsky thread: The Sky is Karari The Trees and Mountains Kakimori Kurun /Gutenberg Urkundentinten G10 IG And the lake is Noodler's Dostoyevsky · Pens used: Pilot Kakuna (Ef) Lamy Safari (Ef/F/M/B), Jinhao 450/ Ultraflex nib/ Fude nib · What I liked: Gorgeous blue colour. It made me happy every time I used it. Excellent on absorbent paper. · What I did not like: Very long dry times. Not suitable for leftie over writers. It’s a bit pricier than other ink. · Shading: Ok · Ghosting: Faint · Bleed through: None, unless you pool the ink. · Flow Rate: Excellent · Lubrication: Dry especially with Ef to Fine · Nib Dry-out: None. · Start-up: None. I had the pen uncapped for more than 3 minutes, no problem. · Saturation: Saturated just enough. · Shading Potential: Ok. · Sheen: Faint sheen seen if the ink pools. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None · Nib Creep / “Crud”: None · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: Did not notice. · Cleaning: Very easy. · Water resistance: Excellent · Availability: 35ml. Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier
