Color, Shading & Aesthetics
-
Hue / Tonal Character: Suberakashi is described as a deep, near?black green color, intended to evoke the imagery of moonlight shimmering on a princess’s dark hair.
-
Shade & Nuance:
• The ink offers medium shading — in lighter strokes the green may be perceptible, in heavier or saturated areas it leans toward an almost black tone.
• It does not contain shimmer or glitter particles.
• Sheen (reflective edges under certain lighting) is typically absent or minimal. -
Inspirational / Thematic Backdrop: Part of Sailor’s Japanese Fairytale subseries within Shikiori, each color is tied to a mythic or poetic image. Suberakashi (“dangling hair”) reflects the image of moonlight on a princess’s tresses.
Performance & Behavior
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Flow / Lubrication | Smooth, typical of Sailor’s dye inks; not specially formulated as extra lubricated |
| Drying Time | Moderate — will depend on nib width, paper absorbency, and amount of ink |
| Water Resistance | None — the ink is not water-resistant and will blur or wash with water exposure |
| Pigment / Iron Gall | No pigment, no iron gall components |
| Freeze / Fast Dry / Scent | Not designated as freeze-resistant, fast-drying, or fragranced |
-
Because of its dark-green base with shading, Suberakashi may appear nearly black in many writing contexts, but with subtler green hints when lightly applied or on high-end paper.
-
Some users note that in fine nibs, the green may be faint, with most of the effect showing on medium or broader nibs. (User reviews mention that the ink “writes fairly wet … ranges from greenish yellow on fine nibs … turns almost into a black ink” in heavier ink areas)
Packaging & Extras
-
The ink comes in a compact 20?mL glass bottle, ideal for desktop or travel use.
-
The bottle has a 20.6?mm opening, which allows typical converter or pen nibs to reach the ink comfortably.
-
It is sold in a protective paperboard box, often with color-themed art reflecting the Fairytale motif.
