visvamitra Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 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 SepiaRokko Island Sky is very light blue.

amberleadavis Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hmm.... I expected something different. Thank you for the great review. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

inkstainedruth Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I like it in the splash. But only in the splash...I agree. It's a pretty color, but the writing samples make it seem to be too light to really be legible. Thanks for the review, 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."

saskia_madding Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I bought this ink for mixing, and your review reminded me to give it a go. Thanks! http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/261536-about-my-reviews/ Link to post Share on other sites
Hallel Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 This one seams really pretty and relaxing, but I'm not sure if I could use it. The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. Link to post Share on other sites
Abner C. Kemp Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Reminds me a bit of J. Herbin Bleu Azure. A nice looking color but not particularly usable. Link to post Share on other sites
