Thank you for a wonderful review of one of the most exciting inks I have received this year!

 

I am not a fan of most red inks & have only recently started exploring them. When I received this bottle, I removed the silly Sailor insert & dropped it on the open Tomor River pad & let it settle while I filled my pen. The resulting spread was one of the most intense shadings I have ever seen; the gold appeared almost greenish cast from that big pool of ink! It was a pleasure in an old soft Broad nibbed Conway Stewart & really showed it's shading & sheen.

 

This is the first red ink that I have understood what all the "fuss" was about. It is hard to think about the cost of the ink, just thinking about what a pleasure awaits your next fill. I thank the person who introduced me to this ink on FPN & Vanness for making it possible to obtain here, without fuss or bother. I have purchased, received & used a lot of pens, that gave me no more joy than this ink.

Great review, thank you.

 

Fantastic ink. I really like the way it looks.

[lgsoltek]

I quite like it as well. Is it new? I haven't noticed this one before.

Looks very close to MB's Shakespeare ink to me

[Ghost Plane]

Finally! A red I'm drawn to.

I am a lover of Reds... and this one is at the top of my list with Maruzen Akane. Sailor do know how to make gorgeous reds...

 

Thanks for a FANTASTIC review of an AMAZING Ink!!

I think it's fairly new. I'm not certain, but I think it was made to coincide with NHK's 2017 Taiga drama about Ii Naotora. I don't have a source for this, but it seems pretty coincidental.

How close is this to Oku-Yama or Grenade? Some of the images remind me distinctly of the latter!

Very good eye..... I kept thinking it reminds me of something.. You got it.

In my experience it is not at all like Oku Yama. Ink of Naotora has a more 'blood' like colour to it, with a degree of orangeness to it.

I don't have either of those, so I can't say. Sorry.

I have used 1 pen full of this ink. I loved it but a friend of mine looked at my ink journal & didn't like it. Thank goodness there are enough different colors to satisfy almost everyone.

It seems to remind me of oku-yama...
Do you have a in person comparison for both inks available?

I'm going to the Atlanta show this weekend. If I see any oku-yama samples, I'll try to get a comparison.
