Sailor Kobe #36 Sakae-Machi Indigo

[white_lotus]

Sailor makes a number of store-exclusive inks for shops in Japan. The inks available fro, the Kobe Nagasawa shop is practically a line of inks all on it's own. Current up to 62 inks as of this writing. They are perhaps the easiest of the store exclusive inks to obtain, especially at reasonable prices. They can be found at Vanness Pen Shop online store, as well as Nagasawa's own page on Amazon. You can also get them through cool-japan on ebay.

 

This particular color doesn't seem to get much interest. I bought a sample while ordering some other inks.

 

For starters, there's nothing wrong with this ink. It is a vintage-style, less saturated ink, in a traditional color: indigo blue. It's pleasant to use without issues at least for me, in the pen I've been using with it. No sheen, but it does have some nice shading. It seems to have some water resistance.
