In terms of Japanese fountain pen inks, this price is right on target, especially with recent price increases to keep up with inflation. The delight I derive from using this ink is well worth the price of admission, but you can find many other high-quality inks for a lower price if that's a major concern. This is something worth considering before purchasing this ink.Īnd that's another thing - this ink isn't exactly cheap. While it's gorgeous, it certainly takes its time when drying. I definitely have to remember to keep notebooks open a little longer than normal before closing them, and I can't imagine how problematic this ink would be for left-handed writers. It normally takes between 20 and 30 seconds for strokes to dry with this ink, which is a little on the long side for my preferences. One thing this ink does not excel at, however, is dry time. It's been a pleasure using this ink for the past couple of weeks, and it's still surprising me with the amount of character it can expose through shading and sheen alone. Yomogi is a dark blue with a lot of green in the mix, as well as a gorgeous red/purple sheen in some areas.

The Sailor Manyo ink series is a collection of eight dye-based inks that represent popular flowers that are frequently mentioned in the Japanese Man'yōshū - an ancient collection of poems. The latest ink in my blue collection is Sailor's Manyo Yomogi. I'm just fascinated by the different shades of blue and how they play with green, purple, black, and red, and there just seems to be so many interesting inks that I need to try.

While it's true that I have way more blue inks than any other combined, I didn't try to amass this many on purpose. You can find more from Jeff online at Draft Evolution and Twitter.)īased solely on my collection of inks and what I normally have inked up in my pens, you could assume that I lean very unfairly toward the blue realm of ink colors.
