Review Title: Love this ink!

Review Add on: 16-03-2026
Average Rating: (5)

I love these inks! I already had the Stone Road of Gion, Moonlight of Higashiyama and Cherry Blossoms of Keage and now added the Soft Snow of Ohara. I love the soft subdued colors of this line.

I sometimes read people find this is a dry ink but I don't agree. I only write with F nibs and this ink never gives me any trouble with my fountain pens. I always have fountain pens inked with these inks. Sometimes I change the pens but never the inks. These are among my favorite fountain pen inks!

Review Title: Moonlight of Higashiyama

Review Add on: 19-11-2024
Average Rating: (5)

I bought the Moonlight of Higashiyama recently but also own Cherry Blossom of Keage. Beautiful subdued colors. I love these inks. The ink is a bit dry but when you use it in a pen with a wet nib it will balance out nicely.

Review Title: Soft Snow of Ohara

Review Add on: 11-07-2022
Average Rating: (4)

Soft Snow of Ohara was my first Kyo-Iro ink. I've used it consistently for about a week and a half now and it is a beautiful powdery purple color. It is not extremely saturated, but it is very legible. As is the case with most Japanese fountain pen inks, this ink behaves very well. I've been using it my Pilot Custom 823 with a Fine nib.
Other reviews you might find online claim that the Kyo-Iro inks run dry, and while I agree that it is not a wet ink, I don't think that it runs dry. I feel like the ink has an average flow. I'm happy with this ink and will certainly try other colors by this brand.
