On the surface Syo-ro is very simlar to Ku-jaku, but Syo-ro is closer to a deep-yet-bright forest green. Though I prefer Ku-jake, I LOVE both.

My firehose wet noodle obsession.

The ink is Iroshizuku Ku-jaku, and the paper is Rhodia.

I’m losing faith in Iroshizuku…

That’s Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki on Rhodia 80 g. paper. This is my fifth Iroshizuku ink review and I’ve been entirely disappointed with four of them. The fifth, which I liked enough to buy despite its quirks, is Ku-jaku.

Someone talk me out of hating this ridiculously poorly behaved ink that goes for $0.56 per milliliter. I won’t judge the entire line on the five I’ve tried, but I’m not wasting any more money on any more of this brand.

Here’s a gorgeous ink from Iroshizuku. It’s not exactly a class act on copy paper, but on Rhodia and other quality papers it’s a stunning color.
