Update to my constant preaching about how much I love Sailor Kiwaguro ink.
My second bottle of the stuff went gray. I don't know how or why, but it just happened. One day I'm using it fine and it's as black as ever (which was always very dark gray, not as black as Noodler's for example). Next day I grab my brush pen and it's like... "Oh, is this the gray inked one?" But no.
I inked up a new pen with Sailor.. the ink was gray. Or, at least, much grayer than ever.

Theories include ink separation, which is dispelled by the image above of the upside down bottle. Another theory is light exposure. But the ink has always been at my desk, which has no sunlight. Nothing has changed.
I dunno. It's fine, though. I'm still going to use it all, because I enjoy artifacts of physical media more than I ever have in my entire life.
I don't know if this is a common thing for the Sailor inks or not. I haven't done a ton of research on it.
