Paper & pairing
Purples sit at the boundary of professional and playful, one of the more personality-forward choices that still reads clearly on the page. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About Bungu no Mori
Bungu no Mori (文具の杜, 'stationery forest') is a stationery store beside JR Sendai Station in Sendai, Japan, operated by the local company Office Vender. The shop is known for exclusive original fountain pen inks celebrating Miyagi Prefecture, including the seasonal Mori no Shiki sets and Mori no Iro Meguri series with colors inspired by Matsushima, the Hirose River, and local specialties.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
