Doroai

Looking for a blue black? How about one that is buttery smooth and has a coppery sheen?

Allow me to bring to your attention this Pen Gallery Hougado offering!

As usual, swatches are clockwise from top left: 52g Tomoe River, Midori, Graphilo, Paperholic

You’ll be relieved to know that I don’t have a story about this crazy sheener, I was just shopping for Uranari Green from the same store and knew I needed this one (amongst others), clicked buy and emptied my wallet 😬

I recommend a dry writer to go with this ink if you want to bring out the blue, otherwise you’d be writing with all sheen over a rather dark base.
