First, I'd like to curse thank fireant for sending me a sample of this wonderful ink. Alas, it is discontinued or I'd buy a bottle today. It likely wouldn't spend much time in my pen, but I'd put it to good use sketching and it is wonderful straight out of the bottle for pointed pen calligraphy.

Here's an overworked persimmon.

Reasonable care was taken to ensure color accuracy, but with an ink this complex and fluorescent, perfection is impossible.

 

If anyone has an unwanted bottle of this ink, I will gladly buy it from you.

Hopefully when Sailor resolves its bottle issue they will bring back the Onago-iro inks.

 

I love this one. Some say it's a close replacement for the long lost Sailor Apricot. And your persimmon is so gorgeous! Even more tempting than the real ones on my table. :D

 

Thanks. I really hope they do come back. I'm out of the loop here, having not been very active on this forum lately. Link me to the thread about the bottle issue?

Oh man gorgeous review!! I love the persimmon drawing.

 

Just curious, did you notice the silver sheen on any of your papers?

It's that huge Sailor thread. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/272272-sailors-full-ink-lines-including-shop-exclusives-compiled-in-a-post/page-44

I think the bottle issue is discussed starting from #870.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

Gorgeous review of another stunning Sailor ink. I don't have Hachimitsu but I do have Apricot. I'd like to see a side-by-side comparison of the two.

I can do a chromatography, wash and short writing sample of the two if you send me a tiny sample. PM me if you're interested. I have a tiny amount of Hachimitsu left.

Thanks. I'm really kind of desperate to get my hands on a full bottle now. I knew I would be when I first saw Lg's awesome review months ago.

 

I did not notice any sheen at all. Usually the OCM Pure Cotton sheens like crazy and it was totally sheenless. I did not try it on onionskin or Tomoe River. I do recall someone getting a nice silver sheen. I usually see it in the wash where the pigment/dye accumulates heaviest. I didn't see anything like that.

This ink reminds me of all the ladies I wanted but couldn't have. :crybaby:

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Just checked my ink journal entry from April and there's a prominent sheen. The paper is Maruman. The pen was a wet vintage Waterman.

 

Looking again at the dipped sample I do see some silver sheen. It is not very prominent and I'd call it more of a "sparkle" than a sheen. Before drying, the ink has a kind of all-over shimmer. Also, I'm in love.

 

I tried it on Tomoe River and some weird, old paper I have called Fox River, both of which usually bring out the sheen, but neither did.

Very nice review! I wish I could write flexily that beautifully!

 

Thanks, that happened to be a good day for Copperplate. They don't all go so well, as you can see elsewhere in my posts. :unsure:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
