on saleSailor Shikiori Tokiwa-matsu - 20ml Bottled Ink

I enjoy journaling with brown and green inks. They remind me of nature. So when I discovered Sailor has an ink that is green AND brown at the same time, I knew I had to have it. - It did not disappoint. Not a bit. Flows nicely, looks great in nibs large and small, and has a HUGE range of green shades - from piney dark green to lichen-y yellow-green depending on the absorbency of the paper you use. So, I love this color because I mostly journal indoors and this color takes me to the forest.

This ink has become one of my favourites.

I might be biased because I love Sailor’s inks. The color payoff and the way their ink flows through all my pens beautifully. This ink in particular is gorgeous! When wet it’s like this dark evergreen color and then as it dries it lightens up to this deep roasted matcha color. Truly does not disappoint. A must have in your ink arsenal <3

Color is amazing and it smells really good too

This is probably my earliest favorite non-shimmer, non-sheen ink. Goes down dark and cool, warms and brightens as it dries. The shading is absolutely gorgeous, clearer with broader nibs. I look for an excuse to use my pen when I've got this ink in use. The orange draws my eye in the shading, and I'm always eager to see the results as it dries down. Not sure how well my picture will show up here, but the y, connected d, either s and i are the clearest examples of shade variance. Shown using Monteverde Regatta 1.1mm Stub, on a Rhodia dotpad.
