Aonibi - Kyonooto


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

To be honest I don’t know much about the company. Some time ago Algester posted topic about Tag Kyoto branch inks. The bottles and colors presented on their site looked nice so I’ve decided to try some of these inks. I’ve managed to buy two on Rakuten and I’ll review them. The inks are made by or for Takeda Jimuki company and are available in two lines: Kyo No Oto and Kyo-Iro. Kyo no Oto inks are said to be traditional japanese colors that has been used since heian era (roughly 1000 years ago),and expressing a tinges that have been nurtured in long history and profound culture for long time.


Kyonooto inks are:


  1. Aonibi
  2. Imayouiro
  3. Kokeiro
  4. Nurebairo
  5. Yamabukiiro

Kyo-iro inks are:


  1. Cherry Blossom of Keage
  2. Flaming Red of Fushimi
  3. Moonlight of Higashiyama
  4. Soft Snow of Ohara
  5. Stone Road of Gion

Aonibi comes in nice, practical bottle

I must confess I'm a fan of this color. In my opinion it rocks. It's not strongly saturated but it offers vintage vibe that I enjoy a lot. It leans slightly toward Slate Grey. Also the flow in most pens is great. The ink felt dry in my St Dupont Fidelio but , for example, in Kaweco or FPR Guru the flow was excellent. In very wet pens it may cause some bleedthrough on bad quality paper.

I get some bleedthrough on cheapest paper from supermarket, but I guess almost every ink would cause bleedthrough on it in wet nib. As for the color - I have five pens filled with it. It may become one of my all time favourites. When it comes to blue/blacks (ok, it's not really blue black, but I'm not that fond of "pure" blue/blacks) I enjoy Aonibi and Robert Oster's Blue Night.

Awesome review. I have not tried out my bottle yet but I'm glad to have gotten it, after seeing its beauty here!

Oh visvamitra, perfect timing as usual. Just placed an order for the black (thanks to Cyber6 :) ) I may well ask for this too and save on shipping.

 

Fingers crossed.

 

Excellent review as always. Thank you!

This one looks like a winner ! A lovely grey-blue with - like Cyber6 said - a vintage 30's look. Real nice. And Sakura SFPG in Diest have them in their shop, 20 minutes from here... Tempting, tempting ;-)

Hmmm... I went to Catherine's place and instead of getting this ink, I returned with all of the Callifolio inks she had in stock :-). Really nice place, but it's like a candy store for inkaholics - impossible to leave without some goodies.

Today I've discovered Aonibi clogged FPR Guru after a week of not using the pen. I have it in four other pens, only one used daily, and there's no such issue in others. Have any of Aonibi users had similar experience with this ink clogging pen or causing skipping? In other pens it behaves perfectly well.

(Plain water would clog my FPR pens :wallbash: . . . I took the nibs out of some and gave away the others :blush:)

I've had it in a Sailor pen for two or three weeks I think. It worked very well without any problem.

oh, i like this color. reminds me of Iro fuyu-shogun but a touch darker, which is better for an everyday writing.

The only problem I have with this ink is that it spreads a lot...

 

But the colour and shading is nice!

      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
