Sailor (Pen & Message) Sanyasou

At first I disliked it, because I found it much more bluer than the official sample and too blue to be a purple. But as it dried it became less blue and I start to like it more. But still it looks nowhere like the official swatch below.

Splash

 

Writing sample

Well it's wet and quite smooth, as you can expect from Sailor.

 

Sheen

Yes, a Shigure-y sheen.

 

Comparison

 

Conclusion

It's not a bad violet/purple. But I had expected a redder colour and it's not.

To my eyes this ink is gorgeous. The best purple I have seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

Another beauty. I think Usagiya Pione beats it just by a hair, but I would love to have both. I see on P&M's site that this ink will not be available until January of next year.

I really like this purple. I'm kind of unreasonably picky about purples, but this one I really liked and I'm pretty sure I bought one back-up bottle of it.

Gorgeous colour! Agreed, it does look much more blue than the Official sample, but still, a beautiful colour
