Urahairo

  • Review Add on: 06-09-2025
  • Average Rating: (4)

Urahairo is a truly beautiful colour. Apparently it means 'the colour of the underside of leaves', and I can see why. It is a very subtle and soft shade of sage green. I fell in love immediately. It does write drily in the fine-nibbed Preppy I used to test. I will be putting it in a more wet-writing pen.

I have sought a long time looking for a nice sheening black ink for my OMAS Arte Italiana Paragon, which has nice shiny finish. Finally I found the Nureba-airo ink at Appelboom and it is a great blueish sheeny black. Just fantastic! Everything about this ink is about the typical Japanese culture. Elegant and Artistic.

Kyo no oto Aonobi and Urahairo

  • Review Add on: 03-12-2022
  • Average Rating: (5)

Love these inks! Aonobi is a powdery indigo colour whereas Urahairo is more of a blue grey. Both are good shades and beautifully subtle which is to my taste. I have heard that some find them a bit dry in use but so far it is not my experience (in a Custom 823) with no hard starts or skipping/flow issues. I am a sucker for packaging design and really love the box and art work on these.

This ink is named after the colour of Adzuki beans.
It is a beautiful quality ink in a stunning dark red burgundy/ wine colour.

This is a well performing ink in a very pleasing, soft, medium blue color. Lots of shading. One of my most preferred blue inks. Relatively good value.

Kyo-no-oto Ink: Aonibi

  • Review Add on: 18-08-2019
  • Average Rating: (5)

I tried a sample of the above mentioned inks and here are my impressions.Paper: Clairefontaine and Tomoegawa (traveler's notebook 013 on Appelboom). Temperature 24-27°c.Pens: Kaweco dia2 M, Montblanc 1912 F. platinum 3776 M.The ink is on the dry side but is very well lubricated, so it runs very smoothly on those papers. Drying time is good. Dry ink means less ink so less time for drying. No feathering or ghosting or bleed through witnessed. No Sheen either: the colors are crisp. No water resistance= easy flushing and cleaning.
Kyo-no-oto Ink Aonibi is my new favorite blue-grey. I can't get enough and it will be in my next order. Similar colors are rare. Sailor ink studio # 340 and #341. Sailor Souboukou. Diamine Prussian blue, indigo, denim, i don't own the diamines so i am not sure.
