Kobe (神戸市 Kōbe-shi) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bayand about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto. Its name comes from "kanbe" (神戸), an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. Kobe became one of Japan's 17 designated cities in 1956.

Kobe is famous for its shirines and nioce architecture but among fountain pen and ink afficionados the name Kobe cause increased heart-rate. The city is a home of Nagasawa-Kobe stationery shop that offers incredible lione of more than fifty inks made by Sailor.

To me this is a paler version of #9. I like both very much.

Great review!

So close to Witch it's hard to tell them apart, depending on the pen.

Another excellent review, Vis! Very nice color

[jmccarty3]

One of my favorites of the Kobes--a great choice for those who "have to use black" at work.

Too funny. This color is one that Napalm calls, bruise purple. I was really disappointed by how fast it fades.

Thank you, Vis!

This has been on my wishlist for a bit now

This color looks very nice, as does #10 Mikage Grey. They look similar in the chromatography Software ID. Has someone used #32 and #10 interchangeably? I'm debating over Tamon Purple Grey and Grey Mikage. Any thoughts?
