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 Bunkyodo Bungu
Bunkyodo is a Japanese bookstore chain that also sells stationery and miscellaneous goods, with Bunkyodo Bungu denoting its stationery business. Its stores carry fountain pens and inks, acting as an official Platinum dealer and stocking brands such as Sailor and Tono & Lims.
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.
