Customer Reviews
beautiful ink, color matched what I saw on my screen and is a nice deep sea-green, that shades lighter, with a very fine silver shimmer throughout. Flows very well through the fine and extra fine nibs and feeds I've tried it in. I was nervous about getting a more expensive ink but I am very satisfied.

This is just beautiful ink. The colors are all rich and unique, which I'm guessing comes from their being based in traditional dyes. Am getting several bottles of these, including Yamabukiiro and Kokeiro. It's hard to explain, but there is so much life in these inks.

Very intriguing. Stone Road of Gion runs a little dry. Cherry Blossom of Keage is my favorite so far.

A beautiful unique blue that I've not seen in any other range of inks. The ink also shades incredibly well. The only issue is Kyo-no-oto inks are DRYYYY... That's why they shade so well. It skipped and railroaded in a few of my standard EF/F/M nibs and all my flex nibs. This was remedied with some White Lighting and now it's the bees knees.

Kyoto Inks are my favorites.
I love the unique colors and almost have them all.
Usually I'm writing with a Bock(F) nib and never have
any problems. I would be thrilled if they offer more colors in the future.

These inks are subtle and understated - very Japanese! I use these inks when writing to those who know what’s what and appreciate quality.

“Soft Snow of Ohara” color is beautiful and the ink flows/dries wonderfully on my Crane parchment. I’ll be using this one a lot!

I love these inks! They never feather, they dry fairly quickly, and they have a lovely look about them that feels very ‘vintage’. The colors are unique, too. Adzukiiro and Hisoku are two of my favorites - and I have hundreds of inks.

Kyoto's Kokeiro ink (in Japanese the name means "color of moss") is an unusual color, a kind of acid-washed yellowish green. I like it and I expect to keep using it and buying more when this sample is used up.

A fancy name for an ink that is a muted orange color. Nevertheless, I like it and plan to continue using it.

Great performing inks with interesting colors that are pretty unique. I rank them right up there with Pilot Iroshizuku and Sailor Jentle as far as quality and performance. They do tend to be a little pricey, but in my opinion this ink is worth it.
