That looks kind of unusual. Not sure I love it, but it would certainly peek my interest

One of my all-time favourite inks. Its very paper-dependent, from a light Tsuyu-kusa shade to a real delft blue: the colour shift can be quite pronounced.

A nice ink but a little chalky for me, sometimes. I prefer the Presidential Blue, actually.

I too have found it to look completely different on different papers...quite odd.

It's very nice when it dries to the nice "light" colour though (paper permitting).

I think it has something to do with the pH of the paper, that's my theory anyway.

Wow, how would it fare with Clairefontaine, HP 32LBs or Tomoe River?
