I love all the Sakura color inks/items coming out this time of year ^_^. So when I came across this Sakura pink Kobe, I knew I had to get a bottle. The bottle is the standard Kobe bottle without the miser, however on the top of this box is a special 150th anniversary marking.
For this review I decided to ink up my TWSBI Eco in White with Broad nib. I thought this ink would look fantastic in a demo, and I was right!

Ink Blob:
And of course the all important time-lapse!
This is a very cute, dainty pink, but it was not love at first sight. I think its that there isn’t a lot of saturation, there is just enough to be legible, but the color looked washed out. It doesn’t have the neon quality that Bungubox Sweet Love Pink has, which gave that particular color the “kick” it needed. This color does have some nice shading, but its a watery shading. The blob has some interesting feathering going on, but feathering isn’t usually something I want. The color feels like it is missing something, but I am glad I got to try it ^_^. I prefer other pinks but may reach for this one every now and then.
I leave you now with this adorable photo of my doggie taking a nap ^_^

DOGIE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice addition of time lapse! NOICE!
I like it. It’s like a dusty cotton candy. Granted, my uses would be limited but I like it. I like that washed out quality, depending on the color. Greys, sepias, and some greens. You know, all the inks I buy. lol
I’ve been busy but you’re always there. THANKS! ❤

I like the variation in tone achieved within your blob but it seems like you have to probably use a lot of wet ink in order to achieve that diversity. I agree with you that the colour is a bit limp.

Yes, much more than regular writing would permit, but if I were doing art it would probably be a pretty color 😀

Oh my, we have twin doggie!! I swear your fur baby looks like the twin to my Nugget!! I don’t know how to post a picture to you on here. If you look on my Instagram page (@BethNWilliam) I will post one of him there. The ink would be a beautiful colour if it had more pop to it. I agree with the washed out part. Please give your “Twin Nugget” a BIG HUG!! LoL!! God Bless You Always, Beth
