Kyo-Iro Higashiyama Moonlight

[white_lotus]

Another of the inks from the Kyoto TAG company, now also carried by Vanness in the US.

 

I'd call this ink an earth orange color, and a number of existing reviews say the ink is "dry". I didn't find that to be the case. I don't know if there have been formulation changes or simply a different pen.

 

Pen: Edison Premiere (M-steel)

Papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, TR=Tomoe River, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, Rhodia=Rhodia 90g ivory.

Camera: iPhone 7

The shading on Tomoe River was especially nice.

I like this very much, but not enough to pay the price.

I think that in right pen the color looks pleasant. If I recall well it wasn't as wet as others in the series.

I haven't gotten any of the others in the Kyo-iro line, but if the others are wetter then I'd be even happier.

I'm so glad to hear that Van Ness has begun to carry these inks! Kyo-Iro Soft Snow of Ohara is my favorite ink, and I've hoped that some US supplier would eventually make it available.

[white_lotus]

I seriously considered getting the Soft Snow as well. Next time.

No. Just...no.
