#27 Kounan Maroon

#39 Renga

#46 Nagisa Museum Grey

I only have 3 Kobe - Kana-cho, of course, but I was lucky enough to get the LE van Gogh set, Dark Green and Dark Blue, both outstanding colors.

I am onto my second bottle of #49, Kitano Olive, which isn't what I would call olive but a lovely drab green nonetheless. I have several other greens, and they're all lovely, but #49 is in constant use.

I upgraded my beloved Herbin Rouille D'Ancre to Kobe #54, which is close to a match but a touch more ocher. Constantly in two pens, a broad and a 1.5 stub for uncial.

Taisanji yellow met my Duke fude and the two have never parted since. A yellow you can write with (that doesn't lean brown)!

Just received samples of two browns, #3 and #40. Good grief, both are stunning. #40 Sumiyoshi is a Taupe that is almost grey, tending green (close to Sailor Manyo Shirakashi, but the other side of the green/brown line). #3 is just glorious in both color and properties, a rich violet chocolate!

Meaning to try #62, but the camel's back is quite weighed down already!

Not only my favorite Kobe ink, but my favorite ink overall, is #9 Suma Purple.

 

And one of my few non-purple inks is #21 Taisanji Yellow, although it took me some time to find a pen that would make it practical for writing.

#14 Maya Lapis.

 

Still one of my favorites. 

 

I also love Lidthi Jay which I think may be Kingdom Note.
