Thx

On my screen it look like this ink leans considerably more to the green than to the blue. Is that correct on paper?

[penswordnoassemblyrequired]

You didn't mention the sheen. It's got one, I think that's where the Copper Pheasant comes in. What's on the screen is a very accurate depiction of what's in my pen. I like it a lot.

Scans are pretty accurate to my experience. It is indeed pretty green.

this is a very nice dark teal blue.

Yama-dori does lean towards green. It's one of my favorite inks, and the one that got me into teals.

 

Great review!

[Joe in Seattle]

Nice job, one of my favorite inks.

I just got a bottle yesterday. It's my first Sailor ink and it's amazing. Definitely one of my favorite colors.

Wonderful review! Thank you!

Nice review!

 

Is it just me, or are the Japanese blues the most beautiful? I have Kon-peki and I'm always amazed at how pretty it is. Of course, I haven't dared to try "The Ink That Shall Not Be Named" and I even know, as a newbie, what ink that is, too.
