Mick great vid. Looking forward to more of your Iroshizuku ink takes. I have 4 of the 5. My following comments are based on a Lamy Safari, a Lamy Al-Star and a Pilot Kakuno. I like Kon-peki but only with a medium nib (both for Safari and Kakuno), however, for blue I prefer Iroshizuku Asa-gao. On Momiji I prefer it with a Lamy Medium or Broad as the red stands out more so than the pink, where as the Lamy fine and especially a Kakuno fine nib displays more pink than red to my eye. Yama-budo and Ku-jaku both are all around winners with all nib sizes, especially the fine nib. You sold me on Chiku-Rin as my only Green ink is Diamine Sherwood Green, a nice dark green - need to add a light green.
Shin-kai is definitely my favourite iroshizuku. It has understated elegance that doesn't really stand out too much and is office safe, but still unique with lovely shading and the colour is different enough compared to your standard blue ink :)
does these fit into a Vanishing Point pen with fine point like the Pilot Vanishing Point - Blue Carbonesque?

Can you please go more in detail 😂❤
I only own the four I liked best: Tsuki-yo, Yama-budo, Syo-ro, and Yama-guri.
Chiku-rin interests me anew. I really might get it soon.

They're all gorgeous
Found another I want to try! Thanks.
Which one?
