Mournful Magical Ink In the enchanting world of magic, there exists an extraordinary ink with a sorrowful quality that captivates the hearts of those who dare to wield it. This mournful magical ink possesses a profound power to express the deepest emotions and evoke intense sentiments in its users. As its name suggests, the ink holds a mournful essence that manifests itself through the intense darkness of its hue. When applied onto parchment, it creates an ambiance of melancholy, as if the very essence of sadness has been encapsulated within its liquid form. It is said that only those who have experienced tremendous loss, heartache, or grief are able to fully harness the true potential of the ink. The mournful magical ink is not merely a tool for writing; it is an emotional conduit, capable of weaving intricate tapestries of sorrow and longing.
The closest inks I could find to Yoi were Vinta Nakar, a shimmering grey ink with underlying pinkish brown and green tones, and Vinta Aegean Armada, which is more bluish-greenish-greyish but has those same subtle pinks. Yoi means something like "early night" or "the beginning of the evening just after dark."
While I was doing the swatching, I also did a simple chromatography test by touching the nib of my pen to a paper towel and allowing a small circle to soak into the paper, then doing a second circle and adding a little water to that one to allow the colors to separate even more. We spent a lot of time down at the zoo, says CG supervisor David Lomax, going to bird sanctuaries to study their movement and what they looked like, as well as taking many pictures of horses and studying horses in fields.
The mournful magical ink is not merely a tool for writing; it is an emotional conduit, capable of weaving intricate tapestries of sorrow and longing. With a single stroke of its dark brush, emotions long buried within one's soul resurface, painting a vivid picture of personal anguish and despair. The ink possesses a unique ability to amplify and amplify the emotions it represents.
Sailor Yurameku - These New Inks Are Full of Surprises!
I know, I know, almost every week in the blog I tell you how excited I am to be writing about my latest topic. but this week, I am actually a little bit giddy. I love ink, so I had been looking at the "Ink Bottles" section of our store website to see what new inks were coming soon. When I saw the Sailor Yurameku line listed a couple months ago, I read about it online and was counting the days until it arrived at the store. Not only are the Yurameku inks multichromatic, so they somehow manage to be more than one color at the same time, they look very different depending on your choice of paper, and also change in appearance as they dry and develop on the paper. The Japanese word Yurameku translates to something like "flickering," which I think refers to these inks' mercurial nature. I saw a few writing samples by people in Japan who had tried them already, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on them to experiment!
The prediction on our website originally said we'd get them in mid-February, so I checked almost every day in February, but they didn't arrive until the evening of Tuesday, March 1st. By the time I'd swatched the inks the next morning, we had already sold out of one of the colors, Kangyou, and the others were going fast!
As I write this on March 7th, we have sold out of Kangyou, Itezora, Yurameku, Kyokkou and Seki, and the other colors have only a few bottles still in stock. But, not to worry! We are getting a new shipment next month and will have 30 bottles of each color. They are available for pre-order now. I'm sure the second batch will go quickly, too, but reading this should help you decide which colors you want the most. The complete lineup of Yurameku colors is Kangyou, Seki, Kyokkou, Amamoyoi, Kitsune Biyori, Kyokuya, Yoi, Itezora, and Byakuya.
Why are these inks so hot? Well, they are cousins to the Sailor Ink Studio series that created such a buzz in 2019, and every ink in the line is multichromatic. Examples of other popular dual shading inks include Sailor Ink Studio 123, 130, 162, 150, 173, 224, 252, 273, 280, and 573; Vinta Inks Perya, Maskara, Sirena and Aegean Armada; Troublemaker Milky Ocean and Abalone; and Sailor Manyo Haha and Nekoyanagi. This type of ink is so fascinating and mysterious, people really get excited about experimenting with it on different types of paper and with different pens. It works best with wider nib sizes that can show off the complex colors, and is also beautiful to use like watercolor paint, with a paintbrush.
I own a bottle of Nekoyanagi and quite a few of the Sailor Ink Studio multishaders, plus have sample vials of a lot of other inks that fit this category, so I've played around with them a fair bit. I pulled a bunch of my swatch cards for comparison.
It allows the user to delve deep into their innermost feelings and pour them onto the canvas of parchment, creating a visceral connection between writer and reader. In this way, it acts as a cathartic outlet, offering solace and understanding to both the writer and the reader. However, the mournful magical ink is not without its risks. The intensity of the emotions it conjures can be overwhelming, consuming the user in a wave of despair that becomes difficult to shake off. It is a double-edged sword, offering both the healing power of emotional expression and the potential for drowning in one's own sorrow. Regardless of its dangers, the mournful magical ink continues to be sought after by artists, writers, and those who seek solace in the depths of their emotions. It is a potent tool that allows individuals to explore the intricacies of their inner world and connect with others on a profound level. In conclusion, the mournful magical ink is a bittersweet marvel of the magical realm. It possesses the power to envelop its users in a world of sorrow and healing, amplifying emotions in a profound and cathartic way. It is a testament to the beauty and complexity of human emotions, a tool that allows us to express the depths of our souls and find solace in shared experiences of grief and loss..
