Taccia Ukiyo-E Tousyusai Syaraku Koiame

[jandrese]

Lovely ink that I did not expect to like. Good flow, dries fast, and just plain works even on less than stellar paper.

Oh! That is unexpectedly nice.

Thank you for showing this one ! I have been curious about these Taccia inks. Nice to know about it’s good properties. I love the complexity in the chroma. Going onto my wish list!

That's an interesting color. Wonder how it would compare in a side-by-side with something like Diamine Terra Cotta.

Thanks for the review.

I was unexpectedly pleased by a bottle of Taccia Cha Brown that I bought without having a chance to test it first. I use it often and would be interested in seeing how that compares to their Ukiyo-e. Thank you for the solid review!

Nice! Reminds me of Ancient Copper.

Had not thought of that. I used to love Ancient Copper but it gets so crusty and stains I just couldn't anymore. So far, this Taccia seems to have no such issues.

Nice! Reminds me of Ancient Copper.

The packaging is lovely....

I once mixed Noodler's Polar Brown with Ancient copper (1:1) and got something around the same lines.... it was waterproof

Thanks for the review (or not). The ink looks quite nice as you present it. I'd looked at the swab and sample at Anderson Pens, and thought "a muted orange" which isn't bad at all, but not what I was looking for. I really like the Hokusai "Red Soil".

I have that one too. I prefer Koiame. Here is my picture of Tetsukon (blue) and Benitsuchi
