Sailor Kobe No. 23 Nagata Blue

[gylyf]

This is a really nice ink, but it's essentially an Iroshizuku Shin-kai clone. If someone is looking for a bluer, more interesting alternative to Sailor's usual Blue Black, then this is the ink to get. It behaves perfectly; I just wish it weren't as close to an ink I already own and use all the time.

Interestingly, Tomoe River makes the two inks look completely different. It brings out the blue in the Shin-kai (fourth line), while bringing out the gray in the Nagata Blue (last line).

Thanks for the review, overall impression I get is that it's quite a generic color, I'll probably avoid it and get a cheaper diamine alternative, thanks

Sorry about that! I deleted my Photobucket account a long time ago and no longer have the ink or the original pics from the review.
