Beautiful color; a bit dry
This is a reddish-pink color with fine and medium nibs; with more ink (e.g., flex/italic/stub/broad), a purple shade can come out. Very nice shading, especially with the use of mo... view morere ink. The ink, like other Kyo-Iro inks, is somewhat dry at times. I think a drop of White Lightning could help with lubrication. It is similar in color to DeAtramentis Apple Blossom. view less

Not as dry as other Kyoto TAG inks
Dusty pink, muted, not too much saturation. It's a wonderful, understated color. Definitely does not flow as well as other Japanese inks like Sailor or Pilot. Still, not as dry as ... view moresome of the other notoriously dry inks in this brand (i.e. Hisoku, Adzukiiro). I think the dryness may vary with batches, though, since the two aforementioned colors were the only really dry colors that never really flowed unless used in a medium nib and up. In comparison, the newer colors like Urahairo flow well even in Japanese extra fine nibs.
Back to this gorgeous color -- this ink worked well in Japanese ef / mf, and Western ef / f. Maybe the batches vary in consistency. view less

Beautiful color BUT
I know of difficult inks but this one beats them all!!, I have a significant pen collection of Medium, Fine, Stubs, Italic crisp, juicy, dry nibs and this ink either it didn’t flow... view more at all or in blurps. I consider myself patient and obstinate but this ink definitely proved to be challenging. I read in another review that Vanness sells a product that makes the flow easier, but really it doesn’t make sense why buy something else to make it work. What a pity for it is such a beautiful color. view less
