Next up in the new Sailor Shikiori line is Yozakura (20ml for $15). I was going to save this one for last because I thought it was going to be my favorite of the four but it ended up taking second place. So, there. I ruined the finale. You can skip ahead if you want.…

Ink Review: Sailor Shikiori Yonaga
Sailor Shikiori Yonaga (20ml bottle for $15) is the other new blue color added into the smaller bottles released this year from Sailor as the Shikiori line. We talked a bit about it this week on Ep. 292 of The Pen Addict and neither Brad or I were clear as to whether Sailor was moving away…
Ink Review: Sailor Shikiori Shimoyo
Sailor has released all of their ink colors in tiny 20ml bottles under the Shikiori sub-brand.

12 Days of Inkmas: Diamine Spearmint Diva
On the last day of Inkmas, I finally broke and dipped into the glitter ink. This is Diamine Shimmer Spearmint Diva (50ml for $20), the perfect Christmas Eve eve ink… all sparkly, icy and seasonally green. The sparkle is a fine silver and it catches the light really well. There’s even a really nice bit…
12 Days of Inkmas: KWZ Warsaw Dreaming
Am I really on the eleventh day of Inkmas already? Today, I guess I’m still in Poland with KWZ and I’m Warsaw Dreaming ($15 for 60ml bottle). It seems oddly appropriate to review the darkest ink on day after the darkest night of the year. Warsaw Dreaming is a dark, dark, dark blue black. It’s…
