The color:

Sharaku-natane is an unsaturated rapeseed yellow.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks more grey where it pooled, but it did feather quite a bit.

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Yellow with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I like this color, it’s an interesting wintery yellow, but there is a bit more feathering than I like. I could go either way on this one, I’m glad I tried a sample but I don’t need a full bottle.
