One of the 5 Kyonooto inks. I shall leave the presentation of these inks to someone else.

Yamabukiiro is a yellow ink with a hint of green. It's not too light to be illegible. It's gorgeous. A winner. My favourite among these. When it's wet enough, there'll be a lovely dark edge.

 

Box

Nice packaging. But the colour on the box is miles away from what it really is. If it were the colour on the box I wouldn't like it.

Splash

(photo, scan. The scan is closer to what I see.)

Sample

It flows well. It's a wet ink, but it doesn't feel lubricating as Sailor inks.

Sheen?

Only when it's wet enough and on Tomoe River can you see a faint sheen. Don't expect to see it in normal writing.

Look at that shading, that dark edge... I'm in love...

I made a murky, yellow-green ink a while back:

Then I remembered that I had a bottle of Yamabuki-iro. When I put them side-by-side they were practically identical. I'm not really that keen on either, but somehow keep using them :-)

as my research goes easily obtained from Rakuten I have posted about these inks a long time ago... Kyoto Bungu TAG inks would be the key word

 

Thank you.

Thanks for the review. I ordered this sight unseen (mostly because I love my yellow-greens) and your review did not disappoint! I am loving Kokeiro, and I'm glad to see Aonibi and Higashiyama look gorgeous as well. I really like these inks!

Thank you for reviewing all of these inks! I haven't been able to try them yet because I went a little nuts getting all of the Sailors I wanted so I've had to put a hold on new ink purchases and started to part with other inks my collection to pay off my inky debts :/

 

Like you, this looks like it would be my favorite out of the series, so when funds permit (probably closer to the holidays :) ) I will be on the lookout for a bottle of this one!

Very nice review. While I am not fond of the color, it is an interestingly complex color.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
