Kyo-no-oto #8 Urahario is a delicate, soft green. It’s not quite seafoam, and it evokes vast pine forests in a deep fog. It’s beautiful, it’s intriguing, and you can’t read it. It’s too light in all but the juiciest nibs. It’s got great shading, which actually contributes to its illegibility. It’s also on the dry side. Stick this one in a fat Pelikan or something.

It’s like too many of their inks, really nice looking until you try to use them in a pen, a bit like Kyo-Noto Hisoku.
