I have always liked the elegant Pilot Iroshizuku bottle. But for some reasons, I am not quite captured by many of their colors, so I held back.
Since the beginning of this year, I've been in a hunt for A Few Good Grey (inks) for my sketches. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I stood in front of Vanness Pens table at the Dallas Pen Show last Saturday. I mean, how can you not buy ink in that situation??
I had two candidates: Robert Oster Opal Grey or Iroshizuku Kiri-same. Guess which one wins?
For the first run with this ink, I chose this black Sheaffer Craftsman with sharp and crisp Fine (maybe XF on some papers) and just like what I expected, my sketch looks a bit airy and light, which is different, but I like it.
Next is to do washes with this ink.
Tinta: Iroshizuku Kiri-same (Autumn Mist).
