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.

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:

Ooji Cherry is joyous pink ink. Usually pink inks make me scowl defiantly at the paper or people wearing them, but it's not the case with Ooji Cherry. If I ever have a daughter, I'll buy her a pony in this color (poor child, what would it do to her psyche?). In other words - I don't hate it, but I'll never buy a bottle of this ink.

I was waiting for this review.

Well, I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but I imagine it'll grow on me. Though I enjoy more muted colors, I do have a soft spot for pinks.

Ink, a drug.

I have a similar feeling regarding pinks. However, I agree this is about as nice of a pink as I've ever come across. If I HAD to write in pink, I'd buy of bottle of this stuff. Thankfully I don't.

Blech! Ick! Patooie!

Great review!

 

As a former happy child who loved playing with Barbie Dolls (but no foot binding!) , I love this color. I had obtained a sample of it sometime back and thought "now what am I going to do with this color?". But, happily I have found that I enjoy journaling with it. It is a very happy color, but can become cloying if not used with some discretion

Thanks for the review.

This one is a "maybe"....

Excellent review, although I'm not a pink (or for that matter, purple) person.

Vis...when you first set out to review the Nagasawa Kobe line I thought you'd never be able to do it. I'm amazed that you're almost finished with this project! I really appreciate this ink series and you've made it possible for me to make informed choices...and I thank you.

I now want to try this ink. I admit, I have gold Larry Mahen cowboy boots - that after having kids makes me think my feet have been bound, so now I'm ready. I can regress from my beloved teenage overly bright colors and go to baby pony colors.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
