Sailor Maruzen Akane Nihombashi Akane

[lgsoltek]

This stunning red is my grail ink. Thank you so much webgeckos for giving me the chance to try this ink! Now I may have to hunt down a bottle.

 

Impeccable behaviour as can be expected from Sailor: wet and smooth flow.

Thank you for perhaps the only glimpse I will ever see of this ink; it looks great & I am pleased to have "made it's acquaintance."

 

I hope you are able to acquire a bottle for yourself.

Have you tried BungBox Ink of Naotora? It looks really similar to your images, maybe a tiny bit less brown. If you can't find a bottle of the Maruzen, it might be one to consider. I am biased though - it's currently my favorite ink.

I recently acquired a bottle of Akane. It was worth the wait.
