Iroshizuku Kosumosu

This color drove my white balance crazy, but these are pretty close. The way this ink looks depends a lot on the light you view it in. Absolutely lovely though, MANY thanks to KP for the sample!!!

Oh, that looks nice! I like the subtle pink undertones in the ink (and I'm not one for pink colours!). I love the name of the ink. Makes me want to say it ten times in a row!

I don't like pinks, but this has enough watermelon to tempt me :hmm1:

I love this colour!

Your penmanship is lovely!

Beautiful handwriting, as always! And this ink is really nice!

It's not too saturated and quite cherry like... Almost pink as

Ghost Plane has mentioned...

Thanks.

I'm thinking this looks a bit more red in these pictures than it actually is. This ink IS pink... no doubt about that. It's a nice soft pink, with an orangey hint to it.

Are there any similar Diamine colours??

[shaylenwilliams]

Well, I've used Diamine's Hope Pink, Coral, and Flamingo pink, and all of them are far too bright/saturated to compare to this one. So, in answer... not to my knowledge.

This ink will look much softer in a drier pen (the one I used was super wet, obviously)... and in mine, it looked much more intense wet than it did when it dried. Like I alluded to, I don't think it is quite soft enough to be a full-on "cherry blossom" pink, but it isn't quite intense or orange enough to be what I would consider a "watermelon" pink either.

Thank you I have Hope Pink but think it's much too bright. I love how subdued it looks; the shade of pink is just right.

[SamCapote]

Shalen, thanks for doing that. Isn't it amazing how hard it is to get shades of red to appear correctly in photo's? I had the same thing with those 6 MB reds I did, but for some reason the scanner did a better job than any of the settings I could find on my Canon PowerShot.SX110. Beautiful penmanship

[whitelily]

Thank you for your pretty review! I did a review of this ink too, and mine came out lighter than yours. Now it makes me wonder what it would look like if I used a broad (!) nib like you. The effect is stunning. You are so right about this ink looking different with different lighting - and I would have to say: in different nibs. I think this pink would be somewhat pale in a fine nib, but I have only tried it out with a wet medium nib so far.

OOOH! Lovely! What a mouth-watering color

 

I just got a confirmation from Pen Gallery that they will be stocking up Kosumosu by next week. Yipppeee! Can't wait to try out this ink myself
