With all the travel restrictions, ordering ink from overseas, makes all pen/ink shopping temptations much more easier :(;)

I ordered some samples for Europe.... I'm still waiting for them to arrives, and that was early January 

Good point.  Winter is a complete deterrent for me - I tried it once, never again! :)

For me, the search ended at another Kobe ink, Minatogawa Lime......   :)

Ooooh...that's VERY floral...plant-like!
But more flat than I'm looking for...reminds me of a darker P.I. Shin-Ryoku.

It's beautiful.  Not flat at all.  Very vibrant and with a glorious sheen.....

It's so unflat it's almost mountainous! Loads of shade and sheen and fantastic colour range - it's one of my favourite mid-greens. 

 

It's a completely different colour family to Shin Ryoku, which looks almost teal next to it.

Well, you guys went and did it...
Now I have to add this one to the list to try too...lol.
See what you've done...another ink the wife is going to shake her head and suck her teeth about.
For shame!
🤣

P.S. 💓 you guys ROCK!!

The ink does not interest me, but I love "It's so unflat it's almost mountainous."

Horses for courses, I guess.  It's not an ink I use all the time, but I do ink a pen up with it when I want to feel the pleasure of using a really vibrant (and mountainous!) green.  It is one of the few bottles of ink that I've actually finished and replaced in the last couple of years.

Oh wooooooow....that says a LOT right there!
I've only ever come close to finishing off my bottles of Pilot Iroshizuku - Shin Ryoku and Tsukushi.
But that's mainly because I test every pen build with them...they're reliable and always work.
If they don't work in a pen, I know the pen has a problem. 😛
Like my most recent build...the feed and housing in that pen are trash.
I know it...because the pilot inks don't flow reliably.

Thanks for the review.

 

Looks nice green colour ink and properties are big plus here. Might consider it when hunting green.

 

As for name....well lets say its quite nice for me, at least it is green when it says green.........never imagined I would say this.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 270µm.

      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
