InkFlash - Sailor Manyo yamabuki

InkFlashes are short and quick presentations that show just enough detail to get a feel for the ink. I'm exploring inks in the Sailor Manyo series. This orange-yellow yamabuki is one of them. Not a great writing ink: lubrication is only so-so, and the ink is too unsaturated in many of my pens. But it's a great colour for drawing!
 
Rhodia DotPad N° 16

While writing, the wet ink shows a lot of charm - it looks dynamic, with nice shading. But when it dries, that loveliness disappears, and the result looks flat, one-dimensional and without depth. 

 

A look at the chromatography

Writing sample on papers good and bad

Written with Lamy Safari M-nib. The bleed-through test is done as follows: 1x, 2x and 3x fill of the squares from left to right, to get increasing saturation of the paper. Beware that on the reverse side, the most saturated square appears on the left.

Note: with the Paperblanks sample, I grabbed a B-nib Safari by accident, and was too lazy to redo the writing sample with the usual M-nib.

 

And finally a quick doodle

I knew I was missing something. The ink flash reviews. :thumbup: 

Great job of highlighting this ink succinctly. Orange inks are often dry and for me need to be more on the red spectrum to be usable for writing. 

Love the doodle. I'm guessing this is somewhere on Venus or maybe a sun. ;)

Thanks for bringing light on the longest night of the year. 🙏🙏🙏

:) Gorgeous review and color.  Fantastic shading.  And, hey, it dries, unlike a certain sunset ink.... :D

 

I adore your little alien!  Thanks, @namrehsnoom!  Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, Season's Greetings, etc.!

@namrehsnoom -- Not a color for me by any stretch of the imagination.  But thanks as always for the comprehensive review.  And I totally agree with @LizEF about the fun artwork.

Yamabuki was one of the inks I found that "Outlined" with a lighter glow around  a darker center of the letters.  (This is on Cosmo Snow)  

I consider this different from 'Haloing' which would be a darker outline around a lighter center with no glow.

Still "Outlines" on Tomoe River-S but not as well

I appreciate as always your meritorious inclusion of 8 or so comparatives here. No, I am by no means trying to overdo things here, but the first thing I thought of was PP's Sazerac.

Wow. That's lovely @USG :thumbup: You might want to re-edit your first image, link. It's unavailable. :) 

Oh, it's not just me that wasn't able to access that image?  Good to know (I was a bit concerned that the issue was at my end).

Sazerac didn't make it for the 3x3 comparison grid. Compared to yamabuki, it's much more orange with substantially less yellow in the mix. See comparison pic below:

Aha... you're right. To be honest, I myself didn't do a real comparison (of this ink on papers... both of which I do have...) It was just my memory which coughed that out... Thanks again for your innumerable comparisons. :doh:

[tinfoilhat] Hmm... I'm under the impression that Sailor systematically methodically pushes introduces inks from their "studio" line into the "Manyo" line, giving them names instead of just numbers... Could that hold truth? 🤔 [/tinfoilhat]

No idea.  I've tried a couple of samples of the "Studio" lines, (trying to find an ink that gave me the same color and water resistance as Noodler's Kung Te Cheng, which wasn't as cloggy) but overall haven't really looked at that line all that much.

Of course, I posted so many pics that I can't find the one I want.  

But here are some examples of Yamabuki "Outlining" on various papers that I found.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
