Yama Guri Comparison

[senzen]

Yama Guri found its home in an Imperial Blue Lamy Studio, with a really smooth fine nib that lays a fat line; it seems to evaporate less than in other pens, which lets you see the subtle yellow and grey nuances.

 

First by itself on two papers; Fabriano Traccia brings out more nuances than Rhodia's pad n. 8, in good sun light.

 

 

Next a comparison with other colours on Rhodia:

 

 

First row of other colours: Chiku Rin, Vert Empire, Verde Muschiato, Ina Ho, Inti, Lie de Thé, Perle Noire, Verdigris.

 

Second row: Mandarin, Ama Iro, Kon Peki, Souten, Équinoxe 6, Tsuyu Kusa, Asa Gao, Myosotis.

 

Third: Fuyu Gaki, Orange Indien, Ancient Copper, Rouge Hematite, Diamine Poppy Red, Perle Noire, Ajisai.

 

And then on Fabriano Traccia:

Very nice comparison. I didn't realize this is such a well rounded brown. I may have to buy a bottle. Thank you!

My pleasure! To me Yama Guri represents a very sober elegance. Here next to the usual suspect Lie de Thé, which changes from very dark to reddish on Fabriano Traccia with a Muji:

Yama guri is my favorite ink! Thanks for posting this little ode to the ink.

My pleasure! I had to go through half a bottle until it found its pen, but I'm already thinking of stocking up some more.
