Kyonooto Kokeiro

[lgsoltek]

One of the 5 Kyonooto inks. I shall leave the presentation of these inks to someone else.
Kokeiro means the colour of moss. It is a lovely yellow green, slightly muddy. Another of my favourite.

Box

Nice packaging. But the colour on the box is miles away from what it really is. If it were the colour on the box I wouldn't like it.

Sample

It flows well. It's a wet ink, but it doesn't feel lubricating as Sailor inks. Lovely shading!

Comparison

1. Kokeiro

2. J. Herbin Vert olive

3. Sailor Kobe Shinkaichi Gold

4. Standardgraph Schilfgrun

5. Sailor Waka-uguisu

Sheen?

Only when it's wet enough and on Tomoe River can you see a faint sheen. Don't expect to see it in normal writing.

OOOHHHHH!

 

That is a very vibrant green. I like it. It reminds me of Alt-Goldgrün.

Great review! It is a nice color, but not one I would use much.

I saw the colour on the box and didn't like it at all.

Some very pretty colours. Thank you for showing them. Where can people find these?

 

I love this ink. I got my bottle at Sakura fountain pen gallery here in Belgium.

Silver sheen aside, this looks like R&K alt-goldgrun to me? I need it
