Kyo-Iro Moonlight Of Higashiyama

[lgsoltek]

One of the 5 Kyo-iro inks. They seem to be made by the same company as Kyonooto inks. They have the same style of packaging. Maybe it's two series from the same brand.
Moonlight of Higashiyama is a orange brown like Diamine Terracotta.

Nice packaging.

Shades well.

this is my fav amongst all colors...

[visvamitra]

Not bad.

[ENewton]

Lovely.

I don't know if it's the pen or what, but this ink feels rather dry.

I shall try it in another pen.

This has so much appeal, in so many ways. Yet your ink splatter is truly the image that facilitates Ink Desire.

Definitely would be interested in this ink if it were readily available.

Not normally my color, but the shading is lovely. Thanks for the review.

I like this one!!

 

Beside this, my favorite among Kyo-iro series is Cherry blossom of Keage(蹴上の桜襲）---I'm not a big fan of pink, but this pink is less eye-searing and forms a darker contour along the rim. Do try it out if you have a chance! 😀

I used it later in a Platinum 3776 Music nib. It still felt dry.

Nice color. Will pick one up once I am out of terracotta.

I prefer Terracotta. This one is rather dry. Terracotta writes wetter and is more saturated.

Like I said earlier, these inks are more like herbin, low saturation and lubrication, but they are wet. This one isn't even wet.

Thanks for the heads up. Dry won't do, atleast for this color.

I've been to Higashimaya- lovely peaceful place. This company must be base in Kyoto. As others have said I too like the colour but looks a bit dry. Reminds me a bit of Ackerman's Garuda Rood, also quite dry.

Beautiful review as ever. So pretty. and the colours compliment each other perfectly.

(not pink though )

 

Might I suggest to those looking for a Mont Blanc Leonardo Red Chalk pick up a bottle of this ? It looks mightily similar to me . . .

 

white_lotus, amazon.com sell it, free shipping too.

I suppose Red Chalk is more saturated? Also I hear that Red Chalk is rather dry too.

Not sure about being more saturated . . . what's left of mine in the Vac700 looks exactly the same as Moonlight of Higashiyama and yes it is also dry.
