Sailor's Full Ink Lines Including Shop Exclusives Compiled In A Post?

[sakayume]

I like Hime Ajisai. Not so keen on the other one as I don't really like blue-toned purples.

[Kanayama]

Oh, seems new Kobe inks are coming: #56 and #57. According to a Facebook post.. as well on the following website too:

No.56が六甲シチダンカ

No.57神戸ヒメアジサイ

 

Lovely

Those are beautiful. They fit so well with the season here right now. I wish business would take me to Kobe.

 

For those interested the names in English would be

 

#56 Rokko Shichidanka (Rokko is a mountain in Hyogo prefecture near Kobe and Shichidanka　(七段花 lit. seven tiered flower),Hydrangea serrata forma prolifera, is a type of hydrangea that grows on the mountain and is known for it's tiered flower petals)

 

#57 Kobe hime-ajisai (princess hydrangea,Hydrangea serrata forma cuspidata, is another hydrangea that grows on Rokko-san and is known for its large flower groupings)

 

Both of theses flowers are part of the exhibits at the Rokkō Alpine Botanical Garden (六甲高山植物園 Rokkō Kōzan Shokubutsu-en)

They're way too fast to catch up :/

Which is the blue and which the purple?

Which is the blue and which the purple?

 

 

Look at the picture carefully.... #57 is light purple...#56 is light blue

They are already so pale with a glass dip pen. Can't imagin how invisible they will be in a regular fountain pen.

[haruka337]

Am I wrong in having the impression that Sailor is making more and more of these pale low saturation colour's instead of rich and saturated ones? These new Kobe inks and the re-release of the old four seasons inks are mostly this kind of colour's.

Indeed.

 

I'll take another pass on the latest inks.

[swanjun]

I do think the purple is pretty, but I have Monet Violet already, which is probably light purple enough for me.

[Pensei]

57 is very pretty, I think. I'm wondering if I could just figure out the nearest more saturated purple/violet and dilute it to get the same result.

[saskia_madding]

I'm into deeply saturated inks, so I'll give these a miss. but thanks for keeping me up to date with the information, guys! I love this thread.

[Algester]

Jebus 3 more ink and the kobe line is already 60 inks in the line up

[Ghost Plane]

That ochre shade Atsu had for a short time was intriguing...

[lovelytofu358]

closer look

 

 

[Uncial]

I read somewhere (possibly here) that slightly watery and pale inks are highly favoured in the Chinese market. At one stage there were reports that Fujiyama Blue was selling for enormous prices in China before its re-release as part of what seems to be the current 'standard line' of Bungbox inks.

Don't know about the Chinese market. but, the Japanese market really enjoys their "pastel" colors. Almost every ink line will have a Sakura Pink in it.

closer look

Still not a fan, but the inks look much better!

 

It should be safe to assume that in medium and up nibs, as well as wet writers, the inks should look fine.

 

Anyone tried Kobe #55 Nankinmachi Fortune Red?

[Pensei]

The "closer look" is very nice on both. Thanks.

Yes I have. Posted this quick writing sample 2 or 3 weeks ago:

[VivienR]

At closer look they are nice. Indeed its a bit pale..

[Betweenthelines]

Looks like I missed out again on grabbing a bottle of Omaezaki Sea in Vanness' last batch. Does anyone know where I can find a bottle of this elusive ink? Been trying to get one for almost a year! I also have a bottle of BB Sapphire I could trade for it..
