Sailor Joyful-2 Minakami Turquoise

[lgsoltek]

Minakami Turquoise is a dark turquoise. Saturated and rich, it doesn't lean too much to green. I like it.

I'm not really into turquoises but I kind of like what I see.

[mehandiratta]

this in picture doesn't look turquoise to me... yeah it leans towards dark blues...

[Mr.Rene]

I think I like it, and I think I have it. I'll have to check, but I think it came in my last shipment. Either way, thanks for the review!

[inkstainedruth]

That's a pretty one. I'd be interested in seeing a side by side with Diamine Havusu Turquoise and Edelstein Topaz.

Thanks for the review.

Your reviews are always beautiful!

That kinda reminds me of MB Tolstoy.

I thought so too before I actually used Minakami in a pen. Look at the splashes (Minakami on the left):

 

 

But in actual writing I think Tolstoy is bluer.

I think that's why Vis doesn't hate it. LOL.

Reminds me of Sailor Sei-boku, which I prefer over this ink.

Yes, that and several others are available, including Purple Heart. Stocked up yesterday morning on 4 colors.

 

Joyful doesn't seem to have any limitations on purchases yet. At least, none that I'm aware of.

Joyful does not put their full stock online. They separate it into store stock and online stock. So you can buy as much as you like but once the online stock runs out they don't restock it until they get another shipment in from Sailor.

Ditto.

Correct. However, I imagine this will change soon for the shop that produces Joyful inks. I suspect as much since shops with larger selection of inks and inventory than the one referenced to have already placed limitations on purchases. Alas! I hope I am wrong, though current trends lead me to believe otherwise.

Thanks. Your image makes Topaz look a lot bluer than what I'm used to seeing, so that suggests that Minakami Turquoise is a *lot* greener than what I'm seeing on my screen. Think I'll pass on this one.
