I appreciate all these remarks, and thanks in particular for migo's post 96. Very interesting remarks on the relationship of digital ink,, verbally-described ink, and ink irl. As a lover of language, I am always very appreciative of careful verbal descriptions.

 

I want to join in the praise for Murasaki-shikibu, which, pardon the cliche, must be seen to be appreciated. I really love it. If I wanted to try to describe it, I would say it is toward a fairly dark periwinkle (meaning the actual flower color). Diamine Lavender is in the same neighborhood, but I think M-s is very special and I anticipate that I will always have one pen filled with it. One last remark is that I find it to be more nib-sensitive, if that's a good term for it, than most inks, and darkens quite a bit with a wetter nib.

 

An interesting side note, which forgive me, I'm sure everyone knows, is that M-s is the only Iroshizuku ink that is named not for something in nature, but for a person.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murasaki_Shikibu

Murasaki Shikibu is also a flowering plant.. We have one in our yard.
