Sailor Kin Mokusei - Compact Review

Another interesting highly shading and color-shifting ink! Though not too surprised, seeing as it's made by Sailor--they seem to have that aspect (and sheen) as their specialty for their inks.

This is orange. In the sense that when I hear the word orange, this is the color I see in my mind's eye.

I bought a bottle of Kin Mokusei about two years ago, and really loved it! Used it all up. Ordered another bottle recently from Anderson Pens, AND this is not the same ink! The second bottle seems "watered down," and much less vibrant (spelling?) On the FPN section for ink reviews, I see that there are two inks that use this name ----- Kin-Mokusei (Autumn 2010 LE) ------ and Kin-Mokusei (2016). Do you think my first bottle, about a year or two ago, was the 2010 ink and the second bottle is the 2016 ink? I plan to write to Anderson Pens about this. The second bottle is really "light," as if mixed with water. How should I deal with this problem?

Ordered my bottle in 2017, so this review is probably the 2016 edition

To me the color is pretty vibrant.

I would contact those nice folks @ ANDERSON PENS; I know they will want to know about your concern & will do whatever it takes to make you a satisfied customer.

I have just filled a broad nib, very wet pen with this ink, and now I like it much better! C. S.

Just got this ink - put it in a Tangerine Sailor 1911L with a cursive italic from Nibsmith.com. Nuff said!
