Lekogen - Stay up Late
Nagahashi is one of the 713 brands in Inktend's built-in ink catalog.
Paper & pairing
Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. 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 Nagahashi
Nagahashi is a stationery brand of Nagahashi Printing, a printing company based in Shizuoka, Japan, with over 70 years of history. It produces fountain pen inks and notebooks, including the ii-kagen series with Tomoe River paper, and has released collaboration inks with the Shizuoka-born manga character Chibi Maruko-chan.
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.
