A while back I mixed Iroshizuku Yama-budo and Shin-kai and liked the result. It looked a little like Lamy Dark Lilac. After playing around with the proportions I found that 3 parts Y-B : 1 part S-K looked pretty close to DL. and even demonstrated a good amount of gold sheen, inherited from the Y-B.
I forgot to post the results at the time, so recently mixed up another sample. I couldn't find another post on FPG showing this mix, but must admit I didn't search too deeply, so apologies if this has already been demonstrated.
It appears to be a stable mix, with similar performance to DL, and similar shading characteristics, although it does bleed-through cheaper papers very slightly more than the original.
Here are two images of "Iroshizuku Dark Lilac": a scan of the two inks plus a photo to show the sheen.
NB: Purple is notoriously difficult to replicate electronically, and I think the first image (scan) is a little too light, however IRL I find the 2 ink colours almost indistinguishable from each other.
Hope this is of use to someone..........
