Sailor Yurameku Kokoro Guma

Sailor Yurameku Kokoro Guma comes in a square 20 ml glass bottle. It is part of the second series of Sailor Yurameku inks, that all have interesting properties in regards to colours. Kokoroguma’s colour varies a lot depending on paper. One of the main points according to Sailor for these inks are that they change in colour as they dry. Kokoro Guma possibly changes the least out of the “kokoro” inks while drying. It starts out out looking blue-black, and dries to, depending on paper, darker and unsaturated indigo, blue or grey. It has noticeable shading and a sort of sheen which seems more like an overlaying colour on many papers (on others, however, it is a strong but not shiny sheen). This, too, varies depending on paper, but generally seems to veer toward reddish brown or black.

優雅で趣のある風流な心 “An elegant soul with refined taste” is written on the boxes. The kanji 心 “kokoro” stands for heart/soul/mind.
