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.

I think it's pretty!

[Tas]

Not many left now . . . Stirling work visvamitra

[haruka337]

As a base for a brown ink: yes. Otherwise, no.

[inkstainedruth]

Wow, that's bright. But pretty. Although it's enough like other inks I've seen that are easier to get that I can pass on this one. Or at least pencil in as a maybe (as opposed to Maya Lapis, which I WAAAAANT!!!)

Thanks for the review.

[VivienR]

Oh, lovely!

[RedScarves]

Woah bright!

Looks lovely on the cream paper though

[Ghost Plane]

Umm...umm...maybe? In small, I repeat, SMALL doses.

[T4TEXAS]

Thanks for the review, but not for me. BTW, what is "pony pink"?

[swanjun]

I bought this before seeing it, based on a general fondness for pink, so I'm glad to see it's cute!

[DrDebG]

Great review! This reminds me of Noodler's Saguaro Wine. I like the color, but not enough to buy a bottle.

[amberleadavis]

Umm...umm...maybe? In small, I repeat, SMALL doses.

 

 

LOL.

 

I think its nice, but I like the Noodler's Lotus Grace better.

 

Vis, great work, as always.

Amberlea - I think I used this on the Saguaro Wine CRV that is heading back to you right now, with all the others you sent. I don't think I've used so many 'brights' at the same time before! You'll need sunglasses for all those pieces of paper - pinks, cerises, oranges, magentas - they look like a throw-back to the 1960s ;-)

[amberleadavis]

OOOO - I just returned to Vegas so I'll be checking it out!
