visvamitra Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 http://imageshack.com/a/img903/6787/QslPHK.jpg Kobe (神戸市 Kōbe-shi) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bayand about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto. Its name comes from "kanbe" (神戸), an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. Kobe became one of Japan's 17 designated cities in 1956. Kobe is famous for its shirines and nioce architecture but among fountain pen and ink afficionados the name Kobe cause increased heart-rate. The city is a home of Nagasawa-Kobe stationery shop that offers incredible lione of more than fifty inks made by Sailor. http://imageshack.com/a/img908/7578/dtzhVS.jpghttps://kobe-nagasawa.co.jp/ My master - plan is to prepare comparison of full line of Nagasawa-Kobe inks. Not an easy task as they're not the most obtainable inks on the market, but hopefully I'll manage to do it At the moment Nagasawa-Kobe offers 52 inks:Rokko GreenPier BlueOld Foreigner Ward SepiaKitano Foreigners Residence RedEast Asia BlackKobe BordeauxKaikyo BlueArima AmberSuma PurpleMikage GreyIkuta OrangeOkamoto PinkNunobiki EmeraldMaya LapisMaiko GreenNada BrownShioya BlueSannomiya PanseMinatogawa LimeMotomachi RougeTaisanji YellowShinkaichi GoldNagata BlueNakayamate BlackTarumi ApricotWadamisaki BlueKounan MaroonSuzuran GreenSuma Kaihin BlueOoji CherryKaigan Stone GreyTamon Purple GreyRikyuu Moon YellowSourakuen Tea GreenSuwayama Leaf GreenSakaemachi IndigoMinatojima Island BlueKitanozaka Night BlueKobe BrickSumiyoshi BrownSuma Rikyu RoseRokko Island SkyGakuen Toshi Fresh GreenSumaura Seaside BlueHashibuse Silhouette GreenNagisa Museum GreyAoya Cascade GreenSuidousuji Marchais BlueKitano Olive GreenKyo-machi Legend BlueKano-cho Midnight Shioya Vintage SepiaKano Cho Midnight looks well and it feels amazing.

migo984 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Thanks for the review Vis. My No 1 Kobe ink. It looks and feels so sumptuous. Sometimes inky blue, other times deep dark black-blue; gorgeous. The green-silver edges on letters are just beautiful. Verba volant, scripta manent Link to post Share on other sites

inkstainedruth Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for the review. This one looks very interesting.There was a thread where someone was looking for an attractive blue-black, and this one definitely fits the bill, IMO.Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

AndyYNWA Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 And my bottle has arrived! I ordered it from Atsu in Japan Saturday morning at 1:30 am (CET), and it arrived on my desk in Sweden today (Thursday) at 9:15 am.5 days from order until I have the goods in my hand is excelent service, to say the least! Now I just have to empty one of my pens to be able to try the ink. http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv27/AndyYNWA/Misc/F91BC443-3FB6-45AA-B0FE-7C45DEBB4638_zpsi7bz0ijb.jpg YNWA JFT96 Instagram: inkyandy Link to post Share on other sites
