Ink Review #606: Color Traveler Tomonoura Sunset Sepia

Today’s review brings a new ink manufacturer to our blog. Color Traveler is a brand of Tayama Bungu in Hiroshima. The collection specializes in location-based inks and travel.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. It is a warm brown with hints of grey, and reminds me of J. Herbin Cacao du Bresil.

This ink had a dry flow and average saturation.

Overall: Overall I really liked this shade of brown and could see myself purchasing a full bottle. The flow is a little dry but can be easily fixed with Vanness’ White Lighting.
