Namiki Blue

I wasn't sure what to expect from this ink. I don't get many of the "stock" inks from the big manufacturers. My impression of them is that they're usually pretty bland. If Namiki Blue is any indication, then I might be wrong about that.

I feel like they could have been a little more creative in their naming, but I suppose they used up their creativity on the Iroshizuku line.


I really didn't like this ink all that much when I first started writing with it. It's nice and smooth, but it looked a little too dark for me. The color changes as it dries, though, and the resulting color is much more interesting than I thought it would be.
