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 Kakimori
Kakimori is a Tokyo stationery maker and shop opened in the craft district of Kuramae in 2010, operated by Hotaka Co., Ltd., a family stationery business established in 1961 and led by Takuma Hirose. It is known for made-to-order notebooks, the Inkstand custom ink-blending service launched in 2014, and its own pigment inks, stainless steel dip nibs and pens.
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.
