One of the 5 Kyonooto inks. I shall leave the presentation of these inks to someone else.
Imayouiro is a bright pink/magenta. I love such retina searing inks like Amberlea.

Box

Nice packaging. The colour on this box is closer to what it really is than the other colours.

Sample

It flows well. But it seems to be somewhat drier than Kokeiro or Yamabukiiro.

Comparison

Sheen?

A faint sheen in a swab on Tomoe River. Not visible in writing at all.

Love that shading!

There are 10 inks in total I think? My favourite is definitely the black (No. 1).

I have this one & agree it's a little drier than I like, but it shades beautifully.

Yeah, apart from the inaccuracy in colours the labels are pretty cool.

 

I noticed that but didn't want to spoil the vibe . . . :unsure:

 

Shame though, that blue on the label is yummy.

There are 5 Kyo-iro and 5 Kyonooto. They seem to come from the same brand.

Yes they are. More about them in this post https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/308664-about-kyo-iro-inks/?p=3630714

 

I was privileged to trial some of the inks last year; I'm pleased they didn't change them other than replace the original metal caps, which had a tendency to leak in transport. I really like the inks' vintage look. A d I agree with Tas - the box designs are very distinctive; under-stated & classy.

This seems very similar to the OS Lewis Carroll Queens Rose. That's a compliment. Normoally not my color range, but definitely one I'd want.

It seems really similar to Iroshihzuku Tsutsuji in the image of the swabs. Would it be possible to see a side-by side written example? Because I have this awful feeling that this is going to be one of those inks that come from the land of Unobtanium....

how is lubrication on these inks compared to sailor ones

 

In terms of lubrication, these inks would feel more like Herbin and less like sailor. i.e. not much for lubrication, but most can be classified as wet inks.

I agree with the comparison to J Herbin. The one Kyo-iro ink I have is Soft Snow of Ohara, and I'd call it a wet but not especially lubricating ink.

This ink just arrived in yesterday's post! Can't wait to try it. I'm usually a blue ink person, but this one has me intrigued.

      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..

      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
