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:

Suidousuji Marchais Blue looks bad. To be honest I dislike such hues. Actually I hate them and this one will never make it to one of my pens again .

Another great review! While I do like blue-greens, I really don't care for this one.

visvamitra, this time we agree, this is so not my colour either.

 

Makes me shudder like I've just eaten a Tangfastic.

 

 

I like this ink :-)

Ha, is that a Lamy I see before me . . . :yikes:

 

(I have two I'm delighted with and have just - thanks partially to visvamitra - ordered another. Oh the shame. :unsure: )

Thanks for the review. I guess someone must like using this color. But I'm not one of them....

I love blues and greens, but not mixed together. :)

Visvamitra's honesty and passionate dislike for this color are amusing as always, and I agree with swanjun completely. My opinion: teals and blue-greens are often attractive, including this ink. I hope this opinion does not result in an antipodal firestorm!

Oh no worries, we don't do firestorms here. There's enough pens and inks for everyone to have their own personal favorites.

 

I like migo984's drawing, but I think I'll stick with more red-leaning blues for me.

I agree, not an ink color that suits my eye at all. Thanks for the review though, now I know to steer clear.

This is quite an old photo. I no longer have the 14k nib (too rigid) and haven't inked that Nexx for yonks. I just can't get on with Lamy pens - no soul.........

Blue Nosed Bear only lighter. Meh

 

LOL. I own BNB, but I'm not a fan, I never use it, so I have shared most of my bottle. I love Migo's drawing, though, like Vis, I can't see this one being in my line up.

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
