visvamitra Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 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 SepiaShioya Blue is, for me, one of the least interesting inks in the nagasawa-kobe line.

EclecticCollector Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 One man's trash is another man's treasure, as they say - this ink looks right up my alley, thanks for the review! Link to post Share on other sites
lgsoltek Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I have a sample of it and I liked it a lot. On the right paper there is this gorgeous purple sheen. All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites
errantmarginalia Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Love this one. But I'm sucker for these kinds of lighter Sailor blues. Link to post Share on other sites
inkstainedruth Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Now this is a blue that I can get behind. Bright and cheery, but still dark enough to be readable on the page. Another one for the "I want" spreadsheet. Which somehow just keeps getting longer and longer.... Thanks for the review (my husband *won't* thank you, though... ).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."

amberleadavis Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 For the price, Barrier Reef Blue is for me. Thank you, Vis. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

cleosmama Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I like it, but it reminds me of DeAtramentis Myrrh, which is a bit less expensive. Edited December 16, 2015 by cleosmama Link to post Share on other sites
lgsoltek Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I like it, but it reminds me of DeAtramentis Myrrh, which is a bit less expensive. Myrrh looks slightly greener and doesn't have that nice sheen: All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites
