Sailor (Bung Box) Fujiyama Blue

[lgsoltek]

I don't like unsaturated inks. I tried to get out of my comfort zone and got a sample of this one. Conclusion: I'd better stay within my comfort zone (rich and saturated colours).

 

It's a greyish greenish blue. Reminds me of that terrible colour of J. H. Vert réséda. I've never tried that one though.

I'm not a fan of this one. Maybe it will look better with a wetter nib.

Oh wow.. this is quite unusable. Unusable and BungBox has never gone together in my vocabulary... . I am shocked.

 

Thanks for the review,

So glad I only got a sample of this (from Vanness)!

Thank you for the review! I was really curious about this one but like you I'm learning that I only enjoy using rich and saturated colors so I will stay far away from this ink

They do have a few very light inks like Omaezaki Sky, Luminous, Soleil...

Looks like a washed out Blue Nose Bear. Pass

Thanks for the review.

The color is kinda pretty, but the writing sample makes me know I wouldn't like this -- I need my writing to at least be legible, and this seems to be one of those inks that are just way too light to read without squinting.

Why do ink manufacturers do this? Isn't the whole point of writing to make it readable?

I get a deeper colour in writing than you get here - a little more like the blue in the top left side of your splash, but I'm using it in very wet writers. I really like it. It's a little close to Blue Nose Bear.

It's a pretty color, but a bit too light for paragraphs of text.

 

Thanks for the review! Also, I like your handwriting.

[Algester]

seems like diabolo menthe as well... thats was a very pale ink IMHO

Thank you for your review.

 

While I love the color on the paper towel I am not crazy about how it looks on paper.

 

Is it bad that I have a crush on your penmanship?

[lgsoltek]

It looks much more attractive in a broad pen (Pilot Parallel 2.4):

Ooo, I think a thank you letter written in this would be lovely . . .
