Kakimori Po (Pigment ink) - Mini review
According to Kakimori "A colour tucked away in our hearts. Po is the way we blush when falling in love; the warmth of a face admired from afar."
Bottle – Curtsey of Kakimori
The ink window makes a really nice contrast to the charcoal Safari

This is eye searing bright red/ salmon.
The chroma doesn't show much of a mystery:

In a nutshell: Good for nibs M and above, low lubrication with F/Ef nibs. Long dry times. Nice Shading. Beautiful bottle.
Midori Note long dry times, with broad but decent with a reverse broad...

The colour changes depending pen/paper combo. On absorbent paper the colour is pale salmon.

This is a good ink for markups, editing, or short notes. But I doubt if you would like to receive a long letter with this ink, unless you like eyes searing inks.

Great review, Yazeh! It is an eye-searing red. It does seem like it would be a good mark-up red, particularly for needing to take your marked-up document underwater.

Very fine review - - this one looks like a worthwhile red. (And the bottle is also attractive.)
