Green so dark it reads as black in a fine line. In a wide one it shades from pale moss to near black inside a single stroke.

Moss on Washi

A swab and a word on Washi, written live.

Shading is what happens when ink dries unevenly: thin where the nib moved fast, deep where it lingered. Moss is made to do it.

In the Ferrule EF it is a sober green-black for notes. In the Reed it becomes something else: every letter has a light side and a dark side.

On thin Washi the shading softens and the green comes through to the back like a leaf held to the window.

On each paper

  • Rag

    Quiet and even. The cotton evens out the shading.

    Drying: about 4 s

  • Glaze

    Strong shading: pale where the stroke was fast, almost black where it pooled.

    Drying: about 10 s

  • Washi Best

    Soft shading, and a green shadow on the back of the sheet.

    Drying: about 2 s
