Ishida Bungu Hachimanzaka Blue

I'm not sure this one will have many fans. And I'm not sure how often I'll use it. But it's not without its charm.

Eew! Such lovely writing wasted on such a pallid color...

[lgsoltek]

Too light...

[gylyf]

This one's probably going to end up getting mixed, if I'm honest.

Lovely review and, surprisingly, I like the colour too !

Oh boy . . . not liking the price

Aye, there's the rub with the Ishida Bungu inks...

[tealeaf_egg]

Honestly shocked at how much demonization there is of gentle, subtle inks around here. Thank you for the fair review.

A nice blue. Reminds me of "Motherwell Blue" a color from Gauloises cigarette cartons Robert Motherwell used in his paintings and collages.

While I have enjoyed pastelly inks and own a few, I must say this colour does nothing for me.

 

Thank you for yet another excellent review, though!

Thank you for the review. I have the other Ishida Bungu inks and they are excellent. I'm sure this ink has excellent handling qualities like all other Sailor inks. However, it's not a color that appeals to me, and even so, I'm sure I could find a perfectly decent handling ink in a similar shade from any number of ink makers, and the price would be far less than what I would pay for an ink from a shop in the far north of Japan.

While not a fan, I must confess that it doesn't seem so offensive, now. I see what you mean about the "vintage vibe" (noted on Instagram), it's rather pleasant.

 

Though I won't use such an ink, I would love to receive a letter written in it.

Done! I need to send you my new address anyway, so keep an eye out.

I know. It threw me too.

 

Something about it seems light in tone but not too bright. I must stop looking or else I'll start trying to dilute China Blue or something to quell my desire.

 

Fear not Blue Blacks and murky Greens are here to stay . . .

pastelized light blue....

[ethernautrix]

What a pretty blue! It looks similar to my diluted Parker Penman Sapphire (of which I have very little left). I like it!

It's great that you present all these inks I enjoy reading about them but I would never buy this one. It looks kinda boring
