| Both the forme. store and warehouse are located near the Kamo River, and since these two locations are across the river, I pass by the Kamo River every day. The scenery of the Kamo River changes with the seasons and with the time of day. I planned the original ink in the hope of expressing this scenery in terms of color and delivering it to you. The spring scenery of the Kamogawa River. This ink expresses the word "Yamamurasaki Suimei," which was used by Sanyo Rai, a Confucian scholar in the late Edo period, to describe the beauty of the Higashiyama mountain range and the Kamo River, and was also the name of his study. Sanyo's study and tearoom, "Sanshiseimei-jo", is located close to the forme store. On a pale purple base, which is reminiscent of the sky at nightfall, a pale coral pink, which is reminiscent of the light of the setting sun, appears. There is no lame in the ink, so it can be used with a fountain pen. We hope you can feel a little bit of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto through the ink. The package box is made of bagasse paper, which is made from bagasse, sugarcane waste. This is an environmentally friendly product that makes effective use of bagasse, which is normally discarded. The result is a very natural look and feel. |
Love the colour combo of lilac with a warm yellow - i fell in love after swatching it and I feel this is one ink that looks better in heavy swatches + in person compared to the initial swatch card photos. The more accurate pic = the newer IG photos with the kamogawa inks being used to colour in ribbons. Impressed with the consistent chroma shading this ink has on Sanzen Tomoe River, even in Jinhao EF/F nibs. It took a little while to saturate my pen feed compared to other inks, and perhaps could feel dry to some (but I'm used to dry and pale inks so I do not mind). As with most light-coloured ink, if you leave it in your pen for a while, the ink that's left in the nib and feed tends to get a bit more saturated/darker so I recommend blotting the nib with a tissue first before writing again, otherwise you'll get a much darker result and won't be able to see the yellow shading, plus the "saturated" version of this ink seems to take a much longer time to dry.
