Officially described as a soft blush pink, but in my swatches it reads browner and deeper than \"blush\" suggests: dusty rose-brown in writing, pale peach-pink at the lightest points, and a deep mauve-brown where it pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading: \u003c\/strong\u003eYes, clearly visible.

Opera Rose nods to the years when European opera first became fashionable in Japan, which is why the box shows a dancing couple on a curtained stage. Guitar is Teranishi's house brand, and the bottle lid carries a reprint of an early trademark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teranishi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57242500464966,"sku":"TER-OPERA-ROSE-4ML","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/Teranishi_-_Opera_Rose_3.jpg?v=1788299065","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/teranishi-opera-rose-4ml-fountain-pen-ink-sample","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
